Fluorescence imaging of CO(2)laser-heated droplets.
Distortion, ejection, shattering, and propulsion of water and ethanol droplets containing Rhodamine 6G dye have been photographed at different time delays after initiation of a CO(2) laser pulse, whichcauses explosive vaporization of the droplets. We have developed a fluorescence imaging technique to photograph the liquid-phase portion of the ejected material and the parent droplet after irradiation by the CO(2) laser pulse.
