  • Abstract
    In this work, we numerically study the focusing of a linearly polarized laser beam of wavelength λ = 633 nm using microcubes of heights 0.4 μm, 0.6 μm, and 0.8 μm and width varying from 0.4 μm to 0.8 μm fabricated of silica (refractive index n = 1.46) on a substrate. The minimal focal spot was obtained for microcube with height of 0.6 μm and width of 0.58 μm. The diameters of photonic nanojet in this case were equal to FWHMmin = 0.39λ and FWHMmax = 0.67λ.
