In this work we consider the interaction of a laser-generated cavitation bubble with a solid boundary for the case of a cavity created very close to the wall. Using a combination of a thin-film transducer placed on the surface of the boundary and schlieren photography techniques we observe the induced pressure stresses on the solid boundary and in the surrounding fluid. By studying bubble shapes and identifying the formation of a liquid jet and shock wave emission, we speculate on the dominant pressures stresses induced by the bubble around the time of its first minimum volume for this chosen creation site of the cavity.
