Analysis of Resonance Excitation and Surface Distortion of Single Microdroplets Using Focused Monochromatic Illumination

Abstract

Theoretical procedures were developed, computer programs were written, and systematic calculations were performed to investigate (1) the validity of van de Hulst's localization principle for focused laser beam resonance excitation of spherical and nonspherical particles and (2) the effects of laser beam induced electromagnetic stresses on droplet geometry.
