The local increase of temperature can lead to two main effects creating elastic waves: (1) thermoelastic expansion and (2) ablation of medium.
In the thermoelastic regime, a local dilatation of the medium occurs.
Adopting We suppose later on that the medium is homogenous and isotropic, and we adopt a
unidimensional analysis along $z$ (as 1D model, as the depth of absorption is small compared to the beam
diameter), the diameter. The stress $\sigma_{zz}$
can be written is the sum between the axial strain component and the thermal expansion component \cite{scruby1990laser}:
\begin{equation}
\sigma_{zz} = (\lambda +
2 \mu) \frac{\partial u_z}{\partial z} -
(3\lambda 3(\lambda +
2\mu) \frac{2}{3}\mu) \frac{\alpha E}{\rho C S \zeta}
\label{eq:stressUnidim}
\end{equation}
where
$\lambda + 2 \mu$ is the P-wave modulus and $\lambda + \frac{2}{3}\mu$ the bulk modulus, with $\lambda$ and $\mu$
are respectively the first and second Lamé's coefficient, $\alpha$ is the thermal dilatation coefficient and $\zeta$ the average depth of laser beam absorption. In the absence of external constraints normal to the surface, the stress across the surface must be zero, i.e. $\sigma_{zz} (z=0) = 0$, so that equation \ref{eq:stressUnidim} can be integrated, giving a displacement $u_z$ from the surface:
\begin{equation}
u_z = \frac{(3\lambda + 2\mu)}{(\lambda + 2\mu)} \frac{\alpha E \zeta}{\rho C S \zeta}
% \label{eq:deplUnidim}
\end{equation}
As in a biological soft tissues, $\mu \gg \lambda$, the displacement $u_z$ can be approximated as $3 \alpha \frac{E}{\rho C S}$. Taking as an order of magnitude $\alpha$ = 70.10$^{-6}$ K$^{-1}$ (water linear thermal dilatation coefficient), $E$ = 200 mJ, $\rho$ = 1000 kg.m$^{-3}$ (water density), $C$ = 4180 kg.m$^{-3}$ (water calorific capacity) and $S$ = 20 mm$^2$, we obtain a displacement $u_z$= 0.5 $\mu$m. This value is slightly smaller than the typical ultrasound resolution of displacement, typically of a few micrometers. In a tridimensional model, displacements along X and Y axis would also occurs, as the local expansion acts as dipolar forces parallel to the surface.
