Abstract
In this talk, I will provide an overview of recent advances achieved by using EUV and x-ray lasers for the generation and detection of acoustic fields on the ultrafast time scale. Much of the discussion will be focused on the transient grating technique, in which two short laser pulses are crossed in the sample to launch acoustic waves at the wave vector defined by the periodicity of the optical interference pattern.
