In both cases, the absorption of the laser by the phantom leads to a local displacement which can propagate as elastic wave in the medium. To observe the elastic wave, the medium was scanned with a 5 MHz ultrasonic probe made of 128 elements and a Verasonics scanner (Verasonics V-1, Redmond, WA, USA). The probe was used in ultrafast mode \cite{bercoff2004supersonic}, acquiring 1000 ultrasound frames per second. Due to the presence of graphite particles, the medium presented a speckle pattern on the ultrasound image. Tracking the speckle spots with an optical flow technique (Lucas-Kanade method) allowed to compute one component of the displacement in the medium (``Z-displacement'' or ``Y-displacement''). The laser beam was triggered 10 ms after the beginning of the ultrasound acquisition.
