Abstract
Experimental investigations of acoustic signals generated bg individua l laser-irradiated water droplets are reported. The dependence of drop let destruction thresholds on droplet radius and radiative heating rat e is determined. A theoretical explanation of our experimental results is provided in terms of a model that includes the processes of drople t, evaporation and fragmentation in response to intense laser heating.
