Summary :

Liquid medium was investigated for creation of real 3D dynamic color images on a basis of laser breakdown effect experimentally. It was shown, that breakdown plasma flash in liquid can be used as a shining voxel of white color. Plasma flashing voxels were produced by means of YAG laser with repetition rate up to 2000 Hz of nanosecond mJ pulses. Breakdown bubbles were found to be not hampering the displaying by flashes. Tens of liquids were tested concerning the lowest breakdown threshold. Up to now, tap water was found to be an optimal medium for displaying due to its low breakdown threshold, low attenuation of laser beam and safety. Seeing through electronic driven color filter made a burst of voxels to be perceived like colored one. TFT matrix from LCD was successfully used for the test coloring. A kind of hysteresis was also found out for dependence of laser breakdown probability on laser repetition rate for fixed laser beam in tap water.
