Abstract
The effects of pressure on laser-induced breakdown events at superthreshold irradiances in water were investigated over a range of pressures from 0 to 1380 bar. Breakdown events were generated using 5-ns Nd:YAG laser pulses of wavelength 532-nm. Observations of breakdown events were made using imaging and single detector techniques. Applications for use as a static and/or acoustic pressure sensor were explored. Using imaging techniques over a range of static pressures from 0 to 275 bar, it was observed that the laser-induced breakdown threshold increased with increasing pressure. An ability to infer acoustic pressure via optical breakdown techniques using imaging was demonstrated. Single detector measurements over the same pressure range were observed to follow a similar trend.
