Parameter optimization for photonic nanojet of dielectric microsphere

Abstract:

The characteristics of photonic nanojets are analyzed by changing the parameters, such as the wavelength, refractive index of the surroundings, diameter and refractive index of the microsphere, in this paper. Quadratic functions are used to describe the relation between the above parameters and photonic nanojets’ characteristics. Several techniques are proposed to control the photonic nanojets.
