Abstract

The average optical reflectivity of bismuth as a function of time t after irradiation by a short laser pulse has been calculated. The amplitude A of photoinduced oscillations in the average optical reflectivity is shown to have extrema under certain conditions. The time τ j (j is a natural number) at which the amplitude A reaches the jth extremum has been calculated. The calculated dependences of the times τ1 and τ2 at which, respectively, the first and second extrema (the first minimum and the first maximum) of the amplitude A are reached on the maximum laser pulse energy density Q are consistent with the experimental data from [8].
