  abstract = {Each bubble was a single event and quite reproducible. Bubbles collapsed 400\,$\mu$s to 700\,$\mu$s after the laser pulse. The collapse time was much shorter than the growth time. When the fiber face was 1\,mm from the target material removal began at about 50\,$\mu$s after the bubble had completely collapsed. Bubble wall velocities of the order of 40\,m/s were recorded at collapse. Maximum bubble sizes and lifetimes were observed at an absorption coefficient of 300/cm. At a fiber-target distance of 2\,mm, larger bubbles with longer lifetimes were produced. Bubbles created using a fluid core catheter were smaller than those produced with a solid core fiber.},
