Fluidic vortices generated from optical vortices in a microdroplet cavity
Daniel Bar-David, Shai Maayani, Leoplodo L. Martin +1
We harness the momentum of light resonating inside a micro-droplet cavity, to experimentally generate micro-flows within the envelope of the drop. We 3D map these optically induced…
Water Fibers
Mark L. Douvidzon, Shai Maayani, Leopoldo L. Martin +1
Fibers constitute the backbone of modern communication and are used in laser surgeries; fibers also genarate coherent X-ray, guided-sound and supercontinuum. In contrast, fibers fo…
Level-crossing and modal structure in microdroplet resonators
Sarah T. Attar, Vladimir Shuvayev, Lev Deych +2
We fabricate a liquid-core liquid-clad microcavity that is coupled to a standard tapered fiber, and then experimentally map the whispering-gallery modes of this droplet resonator.…
Ripplon Laser
Samuel Kaminski, Leopoldo L. Martin, Shai Maayani +1
Energy exchange between light and sound was first suggested by Brillouin in 1922. After Townes established the phonon maser theory, coherent generation of intense hypersonic waves…
Optical humidity sensor based on a liquid whispering-gallery mode resonator
Lucia Labrador-Paez, Kevin Soler-Carracedo, Miguel Hernandez-Rodriguez +3
We experimentally demonstrate the use of a novel liquid state, whispering-gallery-mode optical resonator as a highly sensitive humidity sensor. The optical resonator used consists…
