The new project took a modified approach, investigating the feasibility of a static water droplet acting as variable liquid lens. The results were published in Results in Optics. "This was inspired by ...

The optical properties can be changed by simply adjusting the volume of water in the droplet. Credit: Results in Optics (2025). DOI: 10.1016/j.rio.2025.100824 ...

onto a droplet of distilled water. The peak power of the laser pulses was varied over the range of 1–25 GW. The droplet emission was measured by a spectrometer in the wavelength range of 195 ...
