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.

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