(a) Dark-field image collected 25 ns after the drive pulse, compared to the simulated values (from the corresponding 13-ns delay) showing (b) the accumulated phase the light acquires through the sample in units of \(\frac{\Delta \varphi }{\pi }\), and (c) the predicted signal \(1-\,\cos ({\rm{\Delta }}\varphi )\) that would arise from the separate water and sapphire signals, illustrating both the sensitivity and the over-rotation.
