The Figure \ref{figElastoPVA} illustrates the resulting displacement amplitude maps
observed along
Z axis (defined as the ultrasound
axis) axis at 1.0, 1.5, 2.0,
2.5 2.5, and 3.0 ms after laser emission
towards the phantom are illustrated in Figure \ref{figElastoPVA}, for two laser beam energies (10 and 200 mJ). Displacements reached an amplitude of 0.02 $\mu$m for the
10 mJ 10-mJ laser beam and 2.5 $\mu$m for the
200 mJ. 200-mJ laser beam. They propagated at a velocity of 5.5$\pm$0.5 m.s$^{-1}$, which is
a typical
value for
a shear wave,
and but far
lower slower than
the usual
velocity of a compression wave
velocity, about (about 1500 m.s$^{-1}$ in soft
tissues. tissues). Supposing the medium
density $\rho$ density, $\rho$, of 1000 kg.m$^{-3}$ (water density),
it the propagation velocity corresponds to a shear modulus of 30$\pm$5 kPa, which is in
the range of the expected value of the phantom. Shear wave frequency was equal to 500 $\pm$ 50 Hz.
A careful Careful observation reveals
several differences in the propagation
patterns. patterns of the two laser beam energies. At low energy, first central displacements are
more directed
towards the outside
of the medium (left
arrow) arrow), and
we observe three half
cycles. At cycles are observed. Conversely, at high energy, first displacements are directed
towards the inside
of the medium (right
arrow) arrow), and only two half cycles can be observed.
