摘要：
Nanojet has been emerging as an interesting topic in variety photonics applications. In this paper, inspired by the properties of generalized Luneburg lens (GLLs), a two-dimensional photonic nanojet system has been developed, which focal distance can be tuned by engineering the refractive index profile of GLLs. Simulation and analysis results show that the maximum light intensity, transverse and longitudinal dimensions of the photonic nanojet are dependent on the focal distance of the GLLs, thereby, by simply varying the focal distance, it is possible to obtain localized photon fluxes with different power characteristics and spatial dimensions. This can be of interest for many promising applications, such as high-resolution optical detection, optical manipulation, technology of direct-write nano-patterning and nano-lithography.
