Study of Optical Sound Generation and Amplification.

Abstract

This project involves four separate tasks with the following titles; Task I Generation of low frequency sound from optical pulses. Task II Propagation of sound through a gas with an overpopulation of vibrationally excited states, Task III Opto-acoustic studies in liquids and Task IV Non linear oscillation of gas bubbles. The first three tasks funded by the physics division of ONR represent a three pronged study of the generation of sound by the absorption of light. The fourth task, funded by the mathematics division of ONR is a continuing study of cavitation in liquids.
