Laser-induced breakdown measurements of silica nanofibers in air and immersed in water, ethanol and isopropanol

In this paper we present the first study to our knowledge of Laser-Induced Breakdown (LIB) measurements of silica nanofibers in air and in three liquids for different radii in the ns regime. The experimental protocol is described. A significant number of samples are tested and the results are highly...
