Photoacoustic shock wave emission and cavitation from structured optical fiber tips

Photoacoustic waves generated at the tip of an optical fiber consist of a compressive shock wave followed by tensile diffraction waves. These tensile waves overlap along the fiber axis and form a cloud of cavitationbubbles. We demonstrate that shaping the fiber tip through micromachining alters the...
