“…На практике же достичь подобной идеальности крайне сложно. Шероховатость существует почти на всех поверхностях природных частиц (кристаллы льда в перистых облаках, биологические споры в воздухе или воде, клетки тканей живых организмов), а также на искусственно изготовленных объектах [26]. Текстура поверхности рассеивающей частицы, помимо ее геометрической формы, является важным морфологическим фактором, определяющим оптические свойства рассеивателя.…”
All naturally found and technologically fabricated solid microparticles possess surface roughness. Upon optical wave scattering from such particles, in addition to its geometric shape, the surface relief becomes an important morphological factor determining the optical properties of the scatterer. We present results of the numerical 3D-simulations of focusing an optical wave with a dielectric microsphere with randomly distributed surface roughness. We address different cases of azimuthally symmetric and asymmetric distortions of the particle surface. We show that the key parameters of the near-field focal region (intensity, longitudinal and transverse dimensions) referred to as a photonic nanojet (PNJ) are sensitive to changes in the microsphere surface texture. Two important PNJ parameters, the peak intensity and the longitudinal length, are subject to more prominent changes. The influence of the optical contrast (relative refractive index) of the microsphere on PNJ parameters is investigated in detail. The possibility of reducing the influence of surface roughness on the near-field focusing strength by microsphere watering (water-uptake) is demonstrated.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
