Abstract
Light-scattering measurements of optically levitated microdroplets con taining three components, glycerin, water, and ammonium sulfate, are p resented. Evaporation of the microdroplet is studied by means of morph ology-dependent resonances observed in both Raman spectra as well as e lastically scattered light and by the simultaneous measurement of the laser power. The phase transition from the liquid to the solid state o f ammonium sulfate inside the microdroplet is observed by means of mor phology-dependent resonances and Raman scattering.
