Photonic Nanojets are highly localized wave fields emerging directly behind dielectric
microspheres; if suitably illuminated. In this contribution we reveal how different illumination …

We investigate in real space amplitude and phase distributions of light in photonic nanojets
emerging from micrometer-sized dielectric spheres with a high-resolution interference …

We report the direct experimental observation of photonic nanojets created by single latex
microspheres illuminated by a plane wave at a wavelength of 520 nm. Measurements are …

We report on the calculations of optical radiation scattering at micrometer-sized conical-
shape dielectric particles (microaxicons) with special attention given to the specific spatially …

This paper reviews the substantial body of literature emerging since 2004 concerning
photonic nanojets. The photonic nanojet is a narrow, high-intensity, non-evanescent light …

We present the systematic study of key characteristics (field intensity enhancement, spatial
extents) of the 2D-and 3D-photonic nanojets (PNJs) produced by geometrically-regular …

We report what we believe to be the first evidence of localized nanoscale photonic jets
generated at the shadow-side surfaces of micronscale, circular dielectric cylinders …

We studied the characteristics of photonic nanojets formed by dielectric microcylinders over
the visible spectrum using FDTD numerical simulations. We varied a wide range of tuning …

We report the phenomenon of ultra-enhanced backscattering of visible light by nanoparticles
facilitated by the 3-D photonic nanojet??? a sub-diffraction light beam appearing at the …

A photonic nanojet (PNJ) is a tightly focused beam that emerges from the shadow surface of
microparticles. Due to its high peak intensity and subwavelength beam waist, the PNJ has …
