When a laser beam of sufficient energy is incident on a medium, the absorption of the electromagnetic radiation leads to an increase of the local temperature. Due to thermal effects, displacements occur in the medium. These displacements can then propagate as elastic waves. Elastic waves are separated in two components in a bulk: compression waves, corresponding to a curl-free propagation; and shear waves, corresponding to a divergence-free propagation \cite{aki2002quantitative}. Measures of the compression and shear waves is notably used as a method of inspection to reveal potential cracks in a solid such as a metal.  In a medical context, induction of compression waves by laser has been studied for the last ten years, with the development of photoacoustic imaging \cite{Xu_2006}. In this technique, a laser beam is absorbed by the tissue, which inducesby thermal expansion  compressionwaves. These  wavesare detected  by acoustic transducers, and time of flight measurements allow to find the source of the waves thermal expansion. Using an iterative algorithm  and thus, a light propagation model, acoustic sources can be recovered with appropriate detection scheme  to map identify  optical absorption of in  the tissues medium  \cite{22442475}. As the optical absorption coefficient of the tissue depends on the optical wavelength, different structures can be observed by tuning properly the laser wavelength. For example, oxygenated and de-oxygenated haemoglobin can be discriminated in this way \cite{16674205}. The elastic waves used in photoacoustic imaging are typically of a few megahertz. At this frequency, shear waves are quickly attenuated, typically over a few microns in soft tissues, so only compression waves can propagate over a few centimeters. Shear waves have drawn an increasing interest in medical imaging, with the development of shear wave elastography techniques for the last two decades \cite{muthupillai1995magnetic}, \cite{sandrin2002shear}. As its names indicates, this term covers the techniques used to measure or map the elastic properties of biological tissues using shear wave propagation. The shear modulus, directly proportional to Young's modulus in soft tissues, varies indeed of several orders of magnitude between different tissues in human body and potentially offers an excellent contrast. As a shear wave propagates in an organ at a speed proportional to the square root of the shear modulus, measuring its speed throughout the organ allows to compute the shear modulus of the tissue. Shear waves can be induced by an external vibrator \cite{muthupillai1995magnetic}, a focused acoustic beam \cite{sarvazyan1998shear}, \cite{11937286}, the Lorentz force\cite{grasland2014elastoEMarticle}, or natural body displacements \cite{gallot2011passive}. Shear wave elastography techniques have been successfully applied for the detection of various pathologies in organs such as the liver \cite{sandrin2003transient}, the breast \cite{goddi2012breast}, \cite{sinkus2005viscoelastic}, the prostate \cite{cochlin2002elastography}, \cite{12878247}, the bladder \cite{25574440} and the eye cornea \cite{tanter2009high}, \cite{22627517}.
