Formation a photonic zigzag by a half cylinder

Abstract

The article contains the results of the investigation of light scattering on a half cylinder. As a result of numerical modulation, the formation of a zigzag photon jet was shown. was demonstrated. It was demonstrated that he zigzag shape of the photon jet is stable in a wide range (380- 410 ) of the angle of rotation of the half-cylinder. It was found that the minimum value of the half-width of the photon jet is approximately equal tо the diffraction limit, which opens up prospects for the use of the half cylinder as advanced optical tweezers.
