Investigation of the acoustic source characteristics of high energy laser pulses models and experiment
This thesis was motivated by the possibility of using high energy laser pulses as an acoustic source for naval applications. Research conducted in the 1970's and 80's shows that sound production from laser pulses is most efficient when the energy density of the pulse exceeds the thresho...
