Research Abstract

A dye-doped droplet of～ 100μm diameter was created in elastomer by using an inkjet method. Fluorescent lightwave circulating in a droplet induced an emission of selected wavelengths. Resonance emission spectra and polarization characteristics were evaluated for droplets that were made with various solutions. These fluorescence characteristics could be controlled by deforming the droplet in the elastomer.
