โฆ Synopsis
The possibility of measuring small harmonic surface
oscillations with the help of a femtosecond laser is analyzed. It
is shown that the large number of laser radiation modes allows a
considerable increase in the signal-to-noise ratio. The
potentialities of the method make possible to increase this ratio
by a factor of N, where N is the number of laser radiation modes.
The sensitivity improvement provides a decrease of the measurement
time, which is important in many practical applications.
