摘要: Light propagation is simulated through coupled-resonator optical waveguides (CROWs) composed of seven transparent polystyrene microspheres, including micro-joints formed between the spheres. In nanojet-induced mode (NIM) light propagation, increased coupling microspheres drastically, and confinement by individual weakened as micro-joint diameter increases. These results suggest that we can control NIM changing diameter; this amounts to a nanojet throttle valve.
