Ay. Belonogov et al., LIQUID-LASER CAVITIES AND WAVE-GUIDES - II - BUBBLES, MENISCI, AND PENDANT DROPS, Quantum electronics, 27(11), 1997, pp. 1015-1018
A continuation is reported of an investigation of new forms of liquid
laser cavities and waveguides such as bubbles, menisci, and pendant dr
ops. Lasing with a definite mode structure occurs in pendant drops pum
ped by laser and incoherent radiations. The main features of the obser
ved output radiation of totally reflecting closed cavities are conside
red.
