Short summary
We present a non-destructive method to determine the material properties, for example elastic constants, of metal and polymer plates using laser-generated ultrasound. The ultrasonic signals are detected using an ultrasonic transducer that shows high sensitivity over a wide rage of frequencies. A method of signal processing to determine material properties is described and can be expanded upon to characterize more complex samples, such as fibre reinforced composites.
