With a high intensity Q-switched Nd-YAG laser shock waves can be generated in a liquid close to the calculus. Up to 80 mJ single pulse energy with 8 nsec pulse duration can be transmitted through flexible quartz fibers. Energy conversion and enhancement can be accomplished at the fiber tip with opti

Con"ned ablation experiments were performed to measure pulsed laser-induced shock wave pro"les in aluminum and copper foils by using polyvinylidene #uoride (PVDF) gauges. The aluminum and copper targets of 40}200 m thickness were irradiated by neodymium laser at 1.06 m wavelength and at a pulse widt
## Background and Objective : Several laser procedures, extracorporeal lithotripsies (ESWL), and high-velocity missile trauma generate pressure transients that are transmitted through the tissues. Despite several publications demonstrating shock wave-induced tissue injury, little is known about its
