Q-factors up to ~105 are observed from degenerate whispering gallery modes. © 2009 Optical Society of America.PhysicsDirect measurement of high Q-factors in individual salt-water microdroplets by photothermal tuning spectroscopyConference proceedinghttps://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85088184554anddoi=10.1364%2ffio.2009.fthu7andpartnerID=40andmd5=40acb81beb8d59775d3be8c154f8b4cfN/A3317
