Laser Generated Cavitation in Absorbing Liquid Induced by Acoustic Diffraction
Friday, February 23, 1996 4:00 p.m. Dr. Martin Frenz Biomedical Engineering The University of Texas at Austin Conversion of energy from a laser generated heat pulse to acoustic stress in an absorbing liquid is studied in detail. Pulses with a duration of 6ns created by an optical parametric oscillator (OPO) were used. The laser radiation…
