Abstract
Sound generation by a laser beam within a liquid, related to liquid boiling at absorption centers, has been studied relatively little. Acoustic effects upon liquid boiling in a laser beam were first reported in [1]. A change in the index of refraction of a liquid has been observed under the action of acoustical radiation of microbubbles formed on absorbing particles in the zone irradiated by a laser beam [2–4]. However direct measurements of acoustical radiation from a set of microbubbles uniformly distributed over the volume of laser beam-liquid interaction has yet to be performed, to the authors' knowledge. The present study is a preliminary report of results of an experimental study of this class of opticoacoustical phenomena.
