We investigated photomolecular-induced evaporation, wherein photons cleave off water clusters near water–vapor interfaces, bypassing the typical thermal evaporation process. However, thermal-induced evaporation is the main bottleneck to precisely identify photon-induced evaporation. Liquid drop interferometry (LDI) resolved this bottleneck, utilizing evaporating water drops as an active element. Interestingly, we first observed near-total internal reflection, a nonlinear increase in evaporation attributed to photomolecular-induced evaporation, which had never been studied before, to the best of our knowledge. Furthermore, by generating a standing wave on a partially metallic polished prism, we uncovered an unexpected enhancement in evaporation coinciding with the wave reaching its maxima at the air–water (AW) interface, validating that photomolecular-induced evaporation is a surface phenomenon. Significantly, our noninvasive measurements have identified transient deformation height as a key indicator of photon-induced cluster breaking and increased evaporation, thus significantly advancing our understanding of photomolecular effects on water droplet evaporation.
