Images of droplet dynamics during and after optical excitation experiments were recorded in the ultra-fast regime at 1 million frames per second (fps) while the low-speed, quasi-static evolution was carried at 1 fps. During both the inertial and quasi-static phases, we record 1–3 frames in the reference configuration prior to the arrival of the laser-pulse to distinguish the bubble from the background. Lastly, due to the complex physics of plasma formation and chemistry, forward simulations begin at the time when the bubble reaches its maximum expansion
