We show how the deposition of laser energy induces propulsion and strong deformation of an absorbing liquid body. Combining high speed with stroboscopic imaging, we observe that a millimeter-sized dyed water drop hit by a millijoule…
A free-falling absorbing liquid drop hit by a nanosecond laser-pulse experiences a strong recoil-pressure kick. As a consequence, the drop propels forward and deforms into a thin sheet which eventually fragments. We study how the drop…
When a free-falling liquid droplet is hit by a laser it experiences a strong ablation driven pressure pulse. Here we study the resulting droplet deformation in the regime where the ablation pressure duration is short, i.e. comparable to the…
The fragmentation of a liquid metal droplet induced by a nanosecond laser pulse has been studied well. However, the fragmentation mechanism may be different, when a subpicosecond laser pulse is applied. To discover the details of the…
We report on the experimental studies of the deformation and fragmentation of liquid metal droplets by picosecond and subpicosecond laser pulses. The experiments were performed with laser irradiance varying in 10E13-10E15 W/cm^2 range. The…
In laser-produced plasma (LPP) extreme ultraviolet (EUV) sources, deformation of a tin droplet into an optimal target shape is governed by its interaction with a pre-pulse laser-generated plasma. This interaction is mediated by a transient…
The propulsion of a liquid indium-tin micro-droplet by nanosecond-pulse laser impact is experimentally investigated. We capture the physics of the droplet propulsion in a scaling law that accurately describes the plasma-imparted momentum…
The method of sequential simulation of liquid metal droplet deformation by a laser pulse is considered. The first stage is the laser impact on a droplet. It was simulated using RALEF-2D code, based on the radiative gas dynamic model. The…
We propose a theoretical framework to predict the three-dimensional shapes of optically deformed micron-sized emulsion droplets with ultra-low interfacial tension. The resulting shape and size of the droplet arises out of a balance between…
The cavitation-driven expansion dynamics of liquid tin microdroplets is investigated, set in motion by the ablative impact of a 15-ps laser pulse. We combine high-resolution stroboscopic shadowgraphy with an intuitive fluid dynamic model…
A hybrid 2D theoretical model is presented to describe thermoplastic deformation effects on silicon surfaces induced by single and multiple ultrashort pulsed laser irradiation in submelting conditions. An approximation of the Boltzmann…
We investigate droplet deformation following laser-pulse impact at low Weber numbers (We ~ 0.1-100). Droplet dynamics can be characterized by two key parameters: the impact We number and the width, W, of the distribution of the impact force…
We present and experimentally validate a model describing the sensitivity of the tilt angle, expansion and propulsion velocity of a tin micro-droplet irradiated by a 1 {\mu}m Nd:YAG laser pulse to its relative alignment. This sensitivity is…
Irradiation of a sharp tungsten tip by a femtosecond laser and exposed to a strong DC electric field led to gradual and reproducible surface modifications. By a combination of field emission microscopy and scanning electron microscopy, we…
Droplet-droplet interactions is ubiquitous in various applications ranging from medical diagnostics to enhancing and optimizing liquid jet propulsion. We employ an experimental technique where the laser pulse interacts with a micron-sized…
In the increasingly active field of optofluidics, a series of experiments involving near-critical two-fluid interfaces have shown a number of interesting non-linear effects. We here offer, for the first time to our knowledge, an explanation…
The absorbed laser energy of a femtosecond laser pulse in a transparent material induces a warm dense matter region which relaxation may lead to structural modifications in the surrounding cold matter. The modeling of the…
We examine the shape of droplets atop deformable thin elastomeric films prepared with an anisotropic tension. As the droplets generate a deformation in the taut film through capillary forces, they assume a shape that is elongated along the…
Metallic nanoparticles, liquefied by fast laser irradiation, go through a rapid change of shape attempting to minimize their surface energy. The resulting nanodrops may be ejected from the substrate when the mechanisms leading to dewetting…
Sub-picosecond optical laser processing of metals is actively utilized for modification of a heated surface layer. But for deeper modification of different materials a laser in the hard x-ray range is required. Here, we demonstrate that a…
