Mode coupling of phonons in a dense one-dimensional microfluidic crystal

Long-living coupled transverse and longitudinal phonon modes are explored in dense, regular arrangements of flattened microfluidic droplets. The collective oscillations are driven by hydrodynamic interactions between the confined droplets and can be excited in a controlled way. Experimental results...
