Abstract
We report the observation of optomechanical oscillation by immersing a silica microsphere in liquid. Due to the ultra high quality factor of the microsphere in the aqueous environment, sufficient optical force was established to quiver the microsphere at a pump laser power around 1 mW.This publication has 27 references indexed in Scilit:
