Investigation of laser-induced destruction of droplets by acoustic methods.
Experimental investigations of acoustic signals generated by individual laser-irradiated water droplets are reported. The dependence of droplet destruction thresholds on droplet radius and radiative heating rate is determined. A theoretical explanation of our experimental results is provided in terms of a model that includes the processes of droplet evaporation and fragmentation in response to intense laser heating.
