The crystallization of urea was triggered using an intense 800 nm femtosecond laser that was focused to a supersaturated solution through an objective lens. An explosive crystallization proceeded in the entire sample glass tube for a few seconds at a concentration that no spontaneous nucleation occurred even after a few days. The crystallization was precisely monitored using a high-speed complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) camera attached to a microscope with a time resolution of 100 µs. On the basis of the results, the dynamic process of crystallization triggered by femtosecond laser ablation was discussed.
