Phys. Rev. Lett. 38, 1351–1354 (1977)Observation of Resonances in the Radiation Pressure on Dielectric SpheresReceived 20 April 1977; published in the issue dated 6 June 1977 We report an experimental check of the Mie-Debye theory for the variation of radiation pressure on dielectric spheres with wavelength and size using optical-levitation techniques. Sharp resonances are observed which are shown to be related to dielectric surface waves. They permit particle-size measurement to a precision of 1 part in 105 to 106. © 1977 The American Physical Society URL:
