“…Then the shock wave is reflected and gradually diffuses outwards, which is consistent with the results in Ref. [28]. With the increases of the shock wave action time, the pressure-bearing area of the microsphere surface gradually expands, and the shock wave pressure propels the microsphere through recoil effect.…”

An underwater propulsion microsystem is proposed in this work, which employing a nanosecond laser pulse out from the tapered fiber tip. Noteworthily, the system can generate a directional shock wave (or plasma) to propel the polystyrene (PS) microsphere. Through simulation, the shock wave propagation characteristics and the bubble dynamic are investigated. Experimentally, high-speed photography method is employed to obtain the motion image of microsphere. The results show that the propulsion efficiency is dependent on the laser energy. Meanwhile, we explain the role of the bubble dynamic process in propelling microsphere, and find that the bubble diameter increases with the laser energy. In addition, an experiment is performed to separating and removing the PS microsphere clusters in water at fixed point. Our findings make the tapered fiber propulsion system promising for applications in the underwater directional manipulation of microstructures and the removal of the contaminate microsphere in water environment.

To investigate the dynamics of a bubble induced on a finite rigid boundary in water, a simple experimental method based on laser beam transmission probe is developed to measure the time dependence of the bubble’s radius on a finite metallic surface under different incident laser energies, and a numerical method is employed to simulate the bubble’s first collapse. A correction factor based on the Raleigh collapse time formula is proposed to describe the collapse time of the bubble induced on a finite rigid boundary. The experimental and simulation results show that the correction factor is slightly different for the bubble’s first and subsequent two oscillations, and its detailed expression is obtained from the experimental and simulation results. The experimental results show that the conversion efficiency of the incident laser energy into bubble energy increases with the former, and the ratio of the energy left for subsequent bubble oscillation increases with the number of bubble oscillation.
