Laser-driven high-velocity microparticle launcher in atmosphere and under vacuum

Abstract: This paper presents a novel approach to launch single microparticles at high velocities under low vacuum conditions. In an all-optical table-top method, microparticles with sizes ranging from a few microns to tens of microns are accelerated to supersonic velocities depending on the particle mass. The acceleration is performed through a laser ablation process and the particles are monitored in free space using an ultra-high-speed multi-frame camera with nanosecond time resolution. Under low vacuum, we evaluate … Show more

“…PDMS launch pads were in use shortly after for much more precise single particle launch and increased velocity control. Aiming for higher velocities, Veysset et al more recently designed a launch pad eliminating the elastomeric layer, which partially dissipates the plasma-induced acceleration forces (113). Higher velocities could be obtained for heat-resistant ceramic particles via direct plasma drag acceleration.…”
