EXPERIMENTAL DATA

Movies

01-1

Experimental data movie (Polarization: S-polarized)

All pump–probe delay measurements were interleaved with periodic intact-state measurements to verify reversible sample recovery and measurement reproducibility.

01-2

Annotated elastic-wave propagation

Blue arrows indicate the longitudinal strain wave propagating along the depth direction, while red arrows indicate the transverse elastic wave propagating in plane.

01-3

Larger-beam case: extended field of view

A larger vortex-beam footprint enables a broader sample region to be probed. Consistent longitudinal and transverse wave responses are also observed near the dislocation on the right; the red arrows specifically mark the transverse in-plane component.
