Abstract. The fall of longitudinal elastic wave to flat boundary between two media with subsequent reflection is investigated. The investigation is executed by transformation of coordinates with taking in consideration the boundary conditions. It is shown that by inclined fall of wave near the boundary it is presented not only the longitudinal but also shifted components of deformation tensor. It is investigated the geometry of elastic deformation excitation on the surface of nickel film by femtosecond laser light influence. It is showed the scheme of periodic grating forming which is created by interference of two light rays. It is investigated the elastic strains which are formed in this grating by the thermal influence of light. In this geometry it is found the expression for the density of magnetoelastic interaction energy. It is carried out the analysis of surface and leaky waves components. It is found the components of deformation tensor which are responsible for magnetoelastic interaction. It is shown that in the “pump-probe” scheme the light polarization plane rotation of probe laser is defined by shifted components of deformation tensor. From the whole expression for magnetoelastic energy density it is selected the terms which are responsible for the light polarization plane rotation of probe laser. It is found the connection between the probe light output amplitude and internal magnetic field orientation in film plane. In example of some versions of shift components deformation tensor it is found the sharp anisotropy character of this dependence. It is investigated the interval of field orientation from the direction parallel to interference stripes to the direction for these stripes perpendicular. It is shown that on the edges of this interval the dependence of output signal form field direction goes to zero. When the field direction goes from edges of this interval the output signal increases. Inside of interval may be a point where the input signal is zero.

Key words: femtosecond laser, magnetoelastic interaction, “pump-probe” method.
