Abstract:In this paper, we demonstrate a novel semi-immersive photonic hook, which is a bent light focus by a dielectric micro-cylinder partially immersed at the edge of a thin liquid film. It only propagates along the air-liquid interface (ALI) and possesses a formation mechanism without material processing for micro-particle and modulation of light irradiation. The existence of ALI at the shadow end of the micro-cylinder and contrasts of refractive indexes over there cause this phenomenon at the specific depths of li… Show more
