Abstract:We have found that ultrafast laser microbeam inducing bubble(s) can lead to condensation of molecules in solution. The laser microbeam was generated by coupling a near infrared mode-locked femtosecond (fs) laser beam onto an inverted fluorescence microscope and focusing it with a 100X objective. Fluorescence imaging revealed that collapse of cavitation micro-bubbles created high-concentration regions of dye molecules in the aqueous solution. Further, twophoton excitation of the molecules under the ultrafast la… Show more
