On the generation of laser-induced plasma acoustic waves

In this paper, the transition of laser plasma waves into laser plasma acoustic waves has been discussed first, and it is suggested that the weak limitation of laser-induced-plasma shock wave is an acoustic wave. Based on this idea, a definition of laser plasma acoustic wave is given, and this kind of acoustic waves for some materials has been obtained experimentally.

Fibre-Coupling Zig-Zag Beam Deflection Technology for Investigation of Attenuation Process of Laser-Induced Shock Waves

A novel fibre-coupling zig-zag beam deflection technology is developed to investigate the attenuation process of laser-induced shock waves in air. Utilizing ordinal reflections of probe beams by a pair of parallel mirrors, a zig-zag beam field is formed, which has eleven probe beams in the horizontal plane. When a laser-induced shock wave propagates through the testing field, it causes eleven deflection signals one after another. The whole attenuation process of the shock wave in air can be detected and illuminated clearly on one experimental curve.
