Since beginning of the 21^st century we are developing in Bordeaux applications of the picosecond ultrasonic techniques. We notably investigated: the diffraction of GHz acoustic waves in micron structures such as metal layers and single fibers; the dynamics of an optically excited single particle and the optical detection of the acoustic field in the surrounding medium; the applications to the opto-acoustic microscopy of single cells thus providing a label free modality to deliver quantitative images of the cell with the mechanical properties as the contrast mechanism.
