Generation of high amplitude compressions and rarefactions in a photoacoustically excited droplet

Photoacoustic excitation of a fluid sphere generates an outgoing ultrasonic wave whose time profile permits determination of the density, sound speed, and diameter of the sphere. Experiments with pulsed laser beams have confirmed the major predictions of existing theory. With regard to acoustic wave...
