Viscosity of Picoliter Volumes Measured by Nondegenerate Two-Wave Mixing

Abstract

Using nondegenerate two-wave mixing in colloidal suspensions we measure the viscosity of liquids with as little as 20 picoliters of volume. In addition, changes in the frequency signature with intensity are observed which are interpreted in terms of self-focusing effects.
