Dynamics of cavitation bubble induced by 193 nm ArF excimer laser in concentrated sodium chloride solutions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cavitation bubbles were generated by the 193 nm argon fluoride excimer laser delivered with a specially designed tip into absorbing NaCl solution. The dynamics of bubble formation and collapse have been studied using fast flash photomicrography. The bubble dimensions were measured at different time delays as a function of the tip exit diameter, the energy fluence of the laser, and the NaCl concentration. The dynamics of the cavitation bubble created on the tip is compared with the well-studied dynamics of bubbles resulting from dielectric breakdown near a boundary. © 1996 American Institute of Physics. @S0021-8979~96!02005-6#

Dynamics of ArF excimer laser-induced cavitation bubbles in gel surrounded by a liquid medium.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Cavitation bubbles have been shown to be the driving force of tissue cutting in 193 nm ArF excimer laser-based vitreoretinal microsurgery. In the present work we investigate the dynamics of cavitation bubbles inside a gelatin gel in a saline environment using fast flash microphotography. STUDY DESIGN/MATERIALS AND METHODS The screening influence of the saline medium w...
متن کاملAbsorption of 193- and 213-nm laser wavelengths in sodium chloride solution and balanced salt solution.
OBJECTIVE To determine absorption coefficients for sodium chloride solution (saline) and balanced salt solution at the 193- and 213-nm laser wavelengths. METHODS Absorption coefficients were obtained for each of the component species found in balanced salt solution. This was achieved by measuring laser pulse transmission through solutions of varying concentration. The experiments were repeate...
متن کاملWavelength dependence of UV-laser induced emission of neutral and ionic species from single crystal NaNO3
We report time-resolved, quadrupole mass-selected measurements of neutral and ion emission from single crystal sodium nitrate exposed to ns pulse excimer laser radiation at 157 nm (F2 excimer, 7.9 eV photons), 193 nm (ArF excimer, 6.4 eV photons) and 248 nm (KrF excimer, 5.0 eV photons). Neutral emissions, including NO, O2, N2, and Na are observed at all three wavelengths. At 193 nm, intense at...
متن کاملPhotosensitivity in Ge-doped silica optical waveguides and fibers with 193-nm light from an ArF excimer laser.
Photosensitivity in optical fibers and waveguides has been associated with the bleaching of an absorption band located near 5.0 eV (or 242 nm). We present new results for Bragg grating formation and UV bleaching experiments carried out using 193-nm light from an ArF excimer laser instead of the usual laser sources operating near 242 or 248 nm.
متن کاملThe 308-nm xenon chloride excimer laser in combination with topical calcipotriol in the treatment of vitiligo
Background: Treatment of vitiligo remains an attractive topic and several therapies with varying degrees of success have been used. The aim of this study was to find out whether the combination of topical calcipotriol and excimer laser increases the efficacy of therapy compared to excimer laser alone. Methods: Twenty eight patients in two groups were treated with 308nm excimer laser alone (14 p...
