The　active　droplet　oscillation　method　is　an　approach　previously　proposed　to　detach　the　droplet　at　currents　below　the　transition　current.　In　this　method,　a　droplet　oscillation　is　first　excited　by　intentionally　switching　the　current　from　the　peak　to　base　level;　the　downward　momentum　of　the　oscillating　droplet　is　then　utilized　to　enhance　the　droplet　detachment　such　that　the　droplet　can　be　detached　at　reduced　peak　currents　lower　than　the　transition　current.　In　the　present　work,　this　method　is　systematically　studied　to　initiate　stronger　oscillations　with　lower　average　currents.　To　this　end,　the　current　waveform　is　modified　by　differentiating　the　exciting　current　from　the　growing　current.　This　differentiation　enables　the　growing　current　(heat　input)　be　reduced　without　affecting　the　oscillation　excitation.　The　current　waveform　is　then　further　modified　by　adding　a　base　period　before　the　exciting　pulse　to　maximize　the　oscillation,　resulting　in　an　optimized　waveform.　A　series　of　experiments　has　been　conducted　to　correlate　the　droplet　oscillation　to　the　parameters　in　the　optimized　waveform.　The　optimal　ranges　for　the　waveform　parameters　are　experimentally　determined.　The　active　droplet　oscillation　method　is　improved　at　a　fundamental　level,　and　its　mechanism　is　also　better　understood.
