Laser-induced plasma formation and cavitation in water: from nanoeffects to extreme states of matter
Norbert Linz, Sebastian Freidank, Xiao-Xuan Liang +1
We present an in-depth analysis of the energy dependence of optical breakdown in water by tightly focused laser pulses, from plasma formation to shock waves and cavitation. Laser p…

Influence of inertial confinement on laser-induced bubble generation and shock wave emission
Xiao-Xuan Liang, Alfred Vogel
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…
