We demonstrate an interferometric method to provide direct, single-shot
measurements of cavitation bubble dynamics with nanoscale spatial and
temporal resolution with results that closely match theoretical
predictions. Implementation of this method reduces the need for
expensive and complex ultra-high speed camera systems for the
measurement of single cavitation events. This method can capture
dynamics over large time intervals with sub-nanosecond temporal
resolution and spatial precision surpassing the optical diffraction
limit. We expect this method to have broad utility for examination of
cavitation bubble dynamics, as well as for metrology applications such
as optorheological materials characterization. This method provides an
accurate approach for precise measurement of cavitation bubble
dynamics suitable for metrology applications such as optorheological
materials characterization.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
