Recently, the observation of low-power laser deformation of an air-water horizontal interface under total internal reflection (TIR) was argued [1]. This effect was claimed to be independent of the incident light-beam power andthe interfacial tension and explained by a model that (i) accounts for the existence of a nonzero in-plane component of the optical radiation pressure exerted on the air-water interface, which was ascribed to the Goos-Hänchen spatial shift—a characteristic feature of TIR—and (ii) does not account for the force balance at the air-water interface. This Comment aims at correcting these two points.< Réduire
