Abstract :
We theoretically analyze a nonlinear optofluidic process produced by radiation pressure of a high quality factor whispering gallery mode in a liquid droplet. Using liquid properties that are experimentally attainable, we find that such a process may lead to photon-photon interaction at single photon energy level.
