Abstract

By means of the thermo-elastic wave equation the dynamical propagation of mechanical stress and temperature can be described and applied to model the photothermal and photoacoustic signal. Analytical solutions exist only in particular cases. Using massively parallel computers it is possible to simulate the photothermal and photoacoustic signal in a most sufficient way. In this paper the method of local interaction simulation approach is presented and selected examples of its application are given. The advantages of this method, which is particularly suitable for parallel processing, consist in reduced computation time and simple description of the photoacoustic signal in optical materials. The present contribution introduces our model, the formalism and some results in the 1D case for homogeneous nonattenuative materials. The photoacoustic wave can be understood as a wave with locally limited displacement. This displacement corresponds to a temperature variation. Both variables are usually measured in photoacoustics and photothermal measurements. Therefore the temperature and displacement dependence on optical, elastic and thermal constants is analyzed.
