Abstract
The influence of a secondary electromagnetic plane-wave field in the nondispersive region of the crystal is investigated. The change of the pseudomomentum of this field at the drop surface leads to a deformation of the drop shape, a change of the luminescence properties, and an acceleration of the drop as a whole. Numerical estimates are given and discussed with respect to experimental applications.Keywords
