Abstract
This study explores a technique for light manipulation using an acoustic vortex generated by a high-intensity focused ultrasound transducer. The acoustic vortex forms a ring of bubble wall near the high-pressure region, creating a lens-like structure that can effectively focus a laser beam. The effects of varying acoustic pressures and dissolved oxygen content on the focused ultrasound and vortex waveforms were tested. Results showed that the vortex waveform could enhance the laser beam peak intensity by 55.6% and reduce its full width at half maximum from 1.16 mm to 0.91 mm. Additionally, the study demonstrated the capability to dynamically steer the laser beam at angles ranging from 0° to 0.7°, achieving precise control without the need for mechanical components. This technique offers a stable, real-time, and on-demand method for light manipulation, with potential applications in various liquid environments and heterogeneous media. The study also highlights current hardware limitations and suggests future improvements for optimizing parameters and further exploring related mechanisms.
