“…Electromagnetic radiation in the form of light is confined spatially in the lateral direction and extends significantly along the beam propagation direction [14] [15]. Confinement of optical radiation has been observed not only in dielectric microspheres but also with optical fibres that have been re-shaped taking on the form of fibre tapers and spherical ball shapes at the distal end [16]. Fibre axicons [17,18] and other geometrical re-shaped fibres also serve as useful tools for focussing and spatially confining light.…”
