Wave equations for the growth and coupling of nonlinear processes in droplets

Abstract

For a liquid cell, the standard equations for the growth and coupling of nonlinear waves are one-dimensional along the copropagation direction of the input and nonlinear beams. For a liquid droplet, however, the input intensity is concentrated (with ~200×enhancement) in a small region along the principal diameter just within the droplet shadow face. Generated nonlinear waves propagate around the rim because the droplet acts as an optical cavity (with Q > 106) for specific wavelengths that satisfy the morphology-dependent resonances (MDR′s).
