Comprehensive analysis of photonic nanojets in 3D dielectric cuboids excited by surface plasmons

In this paper we study the excitation of photonic nanojets (PNJ) in 3D dielectric cuboids by surface plasmons at telecommunication wavelengths. The analysis is done using the effective refractive index approach. It is shown that the refractive index contrast between the regions with and without cubo...
