Figure 2.
(a) The maximum of the first derivative of the detector output for all pulse durations was nearly constant for a constant pulse peak power. (b) CAP (n = 8) and (c) pressure amplitude measured using a hydrophone (n = 5) as a function of pulse duration for constant pulse peak power of 150 mW. Between 10 μs to 20 ms pulse duration only the thermal confinement condition applied.
