By means of an ultrafast opto-acoustic technique we study the nanoindentation of thin chromium films on sapphire substrates using a ceramic ball bearing. Acoustic pulses at similar to 40 GHz returning from the film-indenter interface allow the film indentation profiles to be probed to sub-nanometer resolution over contact areas similar to 25 mu m in radius. The deformation of the films during loading is thereby revealed. Furthermore, thermal wave imaging of the contact at megahertz frequencies is simultaneously achieved. (C) 2009 Elsevier B. V.
