Abstract
We study acoustic signals arising during cavitation initiated by laser heating of water in the vicinity of the end of an optical fiber immersed in water. It is shown that the growth and collapse of the vapor phase in the vicinity of the end of the optical fiber (laser heating element), along which laser radiation propagates, generate acoustic signals characteristic of the elementary act of boiling, which precede the appearance of large-amplitude signals. It has been established that large amplitude signals are caused by shock waves that arise during the collapse of the main bubble and secondary bubbles - “rebounds”.
