Drop fragmentation by laser-pulse impact
Alexander L. Klein, Dmitry Kurilovich, Henri Lhuissier +4
We study the fragmentation of a liquid drop that is hit by a laser pulse. The drop expands into a thin sheet that breaks by the radial expulsion of ligaments from its rim and the n…
Apparatus to control and visualize the impact of a high-energy laser pulse on a liquid target
Alexander L. Klein, Detlef Lohse, Michel Versluis +1
We present an experimental apparatus to control and visualize the response of a liquid target to a laser-induced vaporization. We use a millimeter-sized drop as target and present…
Laser impact on a drop
Alexander L. Klein, Claas Willem Visser, Wilco Bouwhuis +6
The impact of a laser pulse on a highly absorbing liquid drop can lead to a violent response: the drop is accelerated, strongly deforms, and eventually fragments. Shock waves, the…
Plasma Propulsion of a Metallic Micro-droplet and its Deformation upon Laser Impact
Dmitry Kurilovich, Alexander L. Klein, Francesco Torretti +5
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 l…
Drop deformation by laser-pulse impact
Hanneke Gelderblom, Henri Lhuissier, Alexander L. Klein +4
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 s…
Drop Shaping by Laser-Pulse Impact
Alexander L. Klein, Wilco Bouwhuis, Claas Willem Visser +6
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…
