TABLE I.

Measured substrate surface (in the absence of the droplet) and droplet temperatures, initially (T0) and after 5 min (T5), both in the absence (fm = 0 kHz) and in the presence (fm = 15 kHz) of amplitude modulation. The input power is held constant at 156 mW. Where a droplet is present, its volume is held constant at 5 μl.
