•A model for a laser-induced cavitation bubble is developed.•The predicted bubble radius agrees with the experimental measurements within 10%.•Reduction in bubble radius is primarily due to the evaporation and condensation.•The amount of air is less than 1% when the bubble reaches maximum.•Peak pres...
