The effect of the laser pulse duration on the nanoparticle generation in laser ablation in liquids is investigated; three mechanisms operating at different stages of the ablation process and in different parts of the cavitation bubble are identified.

While doping is crucial for numerous technological applications, its control remains difficult especially when the material is reduced down to the nanometric scale. We suggest a new way to dope nanoparticles using laser ablation in liquids.
