Photonic nanojets have been brought into attention ten years ago for potential application in
ultramicroscopy, because of its sub-wavelength resolution that can enhance detection and …

The photonic nanojet phenomenon is commonly used both to increase the resolution of
optical microscopes and to trap nanoparticles. However, such photonic nanojets are not …

The optical trapping, sensing, and imaging of nanostructures and biological samples are
research hotspots in the fields of biomedicine and nanophotonics. However, because of the …

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

Abstract Photonic Nanojets (PNJs) have attracted considerable research attention in the
fields of super-resolution optical microscopy, nano-photolithography, and single molecule …

In recent years, it has been demonstrated that micron-scale dielectric spheres and cylinders
can form an intense sharply focused photon beam, termed a photonic nanojet. The photonic …

Illumination plays a key role in getting high resolution imaging. Photonic nanojet is a new
lighting system. Since the transverse beam width of the nanojet can reach λ/3, photonic …

Light focusing through a microbead leads to the formation of a photonic nanojet functional
for enhancing the spatial resolution of traditional optical systems. Despite numerous works …

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 specular-reflection photonic nanojet (s-PNJ) is a specific type of optical near-field
subwavelength spatial localization originated from the constructive interference of direct and …
