Size control of vapor bubbles on a silver film by a tuned CW laser

A vapor bubble is created by a weakly focused continuous-wave (CW) laser beam on the surface of a silver film. The temporal dynamics of the bubble is experimentally investigated with a tuned incident laser. The expansion and contraction rates of the vapor bubble are determined by the laser power. Th...
