Photonic lenses with whispering gallery waves at Janus particles

Abstract

We show that electric field on the plane surface of truncated sphere or cylinders (so called Janus particles) have sharp resonances versus the depth of removed segment of a sphere or cylinder. These resonances are related to the excited whispering gallery waves caused by truncation. It is a new mechanism of the field localization. Optimization of this effect for cylinders permits to reach a super resolution in the line thickness, which can be used for contact optical lithography.
