contents This study examines the pressure exerted by a cavitation bubble collapsing near a rigid wall. A laser-generated bubble in a water basin undergoes growth, collapse, second growth, and final collapse. Shock waves and liquid jets from non-spherical collapses are influenced by the stand-off ratio $γ$, defined as the bubble centroid distance from the wall divided by the bubble radius. We detail shock mechanisms, such as tip or torus collapse, for various $γ$ values. High-speed and Schlieren imaging visualize the microjet and shock waves. The microjet's evolution is tracked for large $γ$, while shock waves are captured in composite images showing multiple shock positions. Quantitative analyses of the microjet interface, shock wave velocities, and impact times are reported. Wall-mounted sensors and a needle hydrophone measure pressure and compare with high-speed observations to assess the dominant contributions to pressure changes with $γ$, revealing implications for cavitation erosion mechanisms.
