title: Coherent optomechanical oscillation of a silica microsphere in an aqueous environment.
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.
