The ultrashort pulse of Nd:YAG laser system is used to generate the sound in water. The picosecond laser beams are focused at two points in experiments. This effect implies that the time response is inherent due to the changes of index of refraction of water induced by laser beam intensity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
