“…In applying this to a superconducting film having a thickness d>>Ao (~=l,t), the well-known result is yielded [6], that the relative values of the phonon fluxes of different polarizations against the boundaries of the generator are independent from the interaction parameters gig, or At/A t : FGl/Fat=gl~a/(gt~a), ~F~= ~F~Gs+ T~GH~ (3) i.e., the phonon fluxes are determined by the internal interaction strength as well as be the phonon transmissions 5F~o s and ~['aGHe of the two boundaries of the generator to the substrate and to the helium bath, which are averaged over all angles of incidence [18,19]. In time-resolved measurements, the intensity of longitudinal and transverse phonon signals may be determined by time of flight separation of the polarizations [28]. In working with Al-detectors at low temperatures, this method becomes difficult, as a consequence of the relatively long detector time constants (5-30bts).…”
