  We demonstrate that a cavitation bubble initiated by a Nd:YAG laser pulse
below breakdown threshold induces crystallization from supersaturated aqueous
solutions with supersaturation and laser-energy dependent nucleation kinetics.
Combining high-speed video microscopy and simulations, we argue that a
competition between the dissipation of absorbed laser energy as latent and
sensible heat dictates the solvent evaporation rate and creates a momentary
supersaturation peak at the vapor-liquid interface. The number and morphology
of crystals correlate to the characteristics of the simulated supersaturation
peak.
