Abstract
Microdroplets are known to act as high-Q optical cavities with optical feedback provided by total internal reflection at the sphere-surrounding media interface. Using the spherical cavities, lasing and stimulated Raman scattering (SRS)1 have been observed when liquid microdroplets are irradiated by intense laser beams. These lasing and SRS emissions occur at discrete wavelengths corresponding to morphology-dependent resonances of the sphere.
