The modeling of bubbles initiated by laser-irradiated nanoparticles is of interest for many applications. There is at present no comprehensive physical picture for all the stages of the process. We present an alternative approach with a key assumption: the vapor bubble evolves adjacent to the nanoparticle. To take into account the irreversible evolution, the statistical rate theory was used, thus avoiding the introduction of extra ad hoc parameters. Model results agree well with published data and our measurements. The only free parameter, the thermal boundary conductance, can be obtained by adjusting the model to the experimental data.

Article Synopsis
- The text discusses advancements in light-driven 3D additive manufacturing, focusing on the photothermal laser-printing of sub-micrometer ZnO structures for microelectronics.
- It highlights three key improvements: using single-crystalline ZnO for better structure, utilizing dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to achieve higher temperatures, and employing specialized substrates for improved light to heat conversion.
- The process is noted for its efficiency since it requires no post-processing and can be conducted without a cleanroom environment, simplifying the fabrication of crystalline semiconductors.
Article Synopsis
- - The paper creates a model for understanding how bubble impurities affect laser light modulation in fused silica, using Mie scattering theory, and provides experimental validation for its simulations
- - It highlights the unique breakdown of optical functionality caused by bubble impurities, which occur through dynamic combustion wave evolution on a millisecond scale, and explores how bubble size and spacing influence the distribution of light, heat, and stress
- - By identifying the importance of bubble spacing on the modulation of optical fields, the study suggests that localized effects lead to reduced damage thresholds in fused silica, contributing to better detection methods for internal defects at specific laser wavelengths without causing surface damage *.

The current paper delves into the jet dynamics arising from a cavitation bubble in proximity to a dual-particle system, employing both experimental methodology and numerical simulation. The morphological development of a laser-induced bubble as well as the production of jets are captured by utilizing high-speed photography. The principles of bubble morphology evolution and jet formation are revealed by a OpenFOAM solver, which takes into account the effects of two-phase fluid compressibility, phase changes, heat transfer, and surface tension.

Objectives: Laser-based endoscopic procedures present special challenges to deliver energy for ablation or coagulation of target tissues. When optical fiber-target quasi-contact (< 0.5 mm distance) cannot be maintained or is undesirable, the creation of intervening vapor bubbles and channels provide for the necessary transmission of laser energy to the target.

Perfluorocarbon (PFC) droplets represent a novel class of phase-shift contrast agent with promise in applications in biomedical and bioengineering fields. PFC droplets undergo a fast liquid-gas transition upon exposure to acoustic or optical triggering, offering a potential adaptable and versatile tool as contrast agent in diagnostic imaging and localized drug delivery vehicles in therapeutics systems. In this paper, we utilize advanced imaging techniques to investigate ultra-high-speed inertial dynamics and rectified quasi-static (low-speed) diffusion evolution of optically induced PFC droplet vaporization within three different hydrogels, each of different concentrations, examining effects such as droplet size and PFC core on bubble dynamics and material viscoelastic properties.
