Thermocavitation, the creation of a vapor bubble by heating a liquid with a continuous-wave laser, has been studied for a wide range of applications. Examples include the development of an actuator for needle-free jet injectors, as the…
Illuminating a water solution with a focused continuous wave laser produces a strong local heating of the liquid that leads to the nucleation of bubbles, also known as thermocavitation. During the growth of the bubble, the surrounding…
Vapor bubbles generated by long-pulsed laser often have complex non-spherical shapes that reflect some characteristics (e.g., direction, width) of the laser beam. The transition between two commonly observed shapes - namely, a rounded…
Continuous-wave lasers generated bubbles in microfluidic channels are proposed for applications such as needle-free jet injection due to their small size and affordable price of these lasers. However, water is transparent in the visible and…
Laser-induced breakdown with ultrashort laser pulses is isochoric and inertially confined. It is characterized by a sequence of nonlinear energy deposition and hydrodynamics events such as shock wave emission and cavitation bubble…
Laser-induced cavitation under nanosecond optical breakdown is central to applications such as laser-induced forward transfer, microsurgery, and microfluidic actuation, yet the physical origin of the earliest cavity and its connection to…
By focusing a laser pulse inside a capillary partially filled with liquid, a vapour bubble is created which emits a pressure wave. This pressure wave travels through the liquid and creates a fast, focused axisymmetric microjet when it is…
In this work, we present experiments and simulations on the nucleation and successive dynamics of laser-induced bubbles inside liquid droplets in free-fall motion, i.e. a case with a free boundary in all directions. The droplets of a…
This study presents experimental observations of single laser-induced cavitation bubbles collapsing in water with different levels of air saturation. The average trends of the bubble size reveal a clear yet little dependence of the energy…
We investigate continuous generation of bubbles from a bath of air in viscous liquid in a confined geometry. In our original setup, bubbles are spontaneously generated by virtue of buoyancy and a gate placed in the cell: the gate acts like…
We describe a recently realized experiment producing the most spherical cavitation bubbles today. The bubbles grow inside a liquid from a point-plasma generated by a nanosecond laser pulse. Unlike in previous studies, the laser is focussed…
A laser pulse focused near the closed end of a glass capillary partially filled with water creates a vapor bubble and an associated pressure wave. The pressure wave travels through the liquid toward the meniscus where it is reflected,…
Laser triggered and photothermally induced vapor bubbles have emerged as promising approaches to facilitate optomechanical energy conversion for numerous relevant applications in micro/nanofluidics. Here we report the observation of a…
Under continuous laser irradiation, noble metal nanoparticles immersed in water can quickly heat up, leading to the nucleation of so-called plasmonic bubbles. In this work, we want to further understand the bubble nucleation and growth…
The dynamics of spherical laser-induced cavitation bubbles in water is investigated by plasma photography, time-resolved shadowgraphs, and single-shot probe beam scattering enabling to portray the transition from initial nonlinear to late…
The paper describes the production of thin, focused microjets with velocities up to 850 m/s by the rapid vaporization of a small mass of liquid in an open liquid-filled capillary. The vaporization is caused by the absorption of a low-energy…
Oscillatory flow in confined spaces is central to understanding physiological flows and rational design of synthetic periodic-actuation based micromachines. Using theory and experiments on oscillating flows generated through a laser-induced…
In this study a single laser pulse spatially shaped into a ring is focused into a thin water layer, creating an annular cavitation bubble and cylindrical shock waves: an outer shock that diverges away from the excitation laser ring and an…
We study the coupled vibrational dynamics of sub-MHz self-oscillating bubbles at separations of 14 to 92 {\mu}m. Two vapor-rich microbubbles are generated via photothermal heating; their interactions are captured in real space and time via…
The significance of laser-driven polarized beam acceleration has been increasingly recognized in recent years. We propose an efficient method for generating polarized proton beams from a pre-polarized hydrogen halide gas jet, utilizing…
