RAMAN-SCATTERING FROM OPTICALLY LEVITATED MICRODROPLETS - INFLUENCE OF INPUT RESONANCES ON OUTPUT RESONANCES

In this paper we consider in detail the influence of input resonances (incident electromagnetic field is in resonance with the cavity) on th e output resonances in Raman spectra (scattered Raman field is in reso nance with the cavity) of optically levitated microdroplets. Dependent on the kind of input resonance the output resonances show spectral sh ifts. We explain that these shifts are the result of a temperature inc rease, due to an input resonance and weak absorbance of the microparti cle. The main intention of this paper is to describe the dependence of these temperature increases on the kind of input resonance.
