Photonic nanojet-enabled optical data storage.
We show that our recently reported microwave photonic jet technique for detection of deeply subwavelength pits in a metal substrate can be extended to optical wavelengths for purposes of high-density data storage. Three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain computational solutions of Maxwell's equations are used to optimize the photonic nanojet and pit configuration to account for the Drude...
متن کاملHigh-Density Optical Data Storage Enabled by the Photonic Nanojet from a Dielectric Microsphere
We discuss the usage of the photonic nanojet to detect deeply subwavelength pits in a metal substrate for the purpose of high-density optical data storage. Three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) computational solutions of Maxwell’s equations are used to analyze and design the system. We find that nanojet-illuminated pits having lateral dimensions of only 100 150nm yield a 40-dB ...
متن کاملOptical forces on metallic nanoparticles induced by a photonic nanojet.
We investigate the optical forces acting on a metallic nanoparticle when the nanoparticle is introduced within a photonic nanojet (PNJ). Optical forces at resonance and off-resonance conditions of the microcylinder or nanoparticle are investigated. Under proper polarization conditions, the whispering gallery mode can be excited in the microcylinder, even at off resonance provided that scatterin...
متن کاملPhotonic nanojet-enhanced nanometer-scale germanium photodiode.
A design challenge for photodiodes yielding both high speed and responsivity is the necessity to concentrate incident light into a subwavelength active volume region. Photonic nanojets have been reported in the literature as a means to focus an incident plane wave to a subwavelength-waist propagating beam with applications ranging from next-generation DVDs to characterizing subwavelength featur...
متن کاملGeneration of highly confined optical bottle beams by exploiting the photonic nanojet effect
We report on the generation of photonic nanojets, which resemble optical bottle beams. They are realized by manipulating the illumination of dielectric microspheres. As illumination we use the outer region of deliberately truncated Bessel-Gauss beam or a focused Gaussian beam with intentionally induced spherical aberrations. For the Bessel-Gauss beam possessing a single side lobe only, the nano...
