A theoretical study of the directivity of laser generated ultrasound in solids was presented. By solving thermoelastic wave equations, we obtained analytic expressions of three-dimensional ultrasound displacements in the far field. The results show that thermal diffusion, optical absorption, ultrasonic frequency, and the diameter of source all have effects on the directivity.
