The properties of the photonic nanojet generated by a two-layer dielectric microsphere are studied.Simulation results indicate that this novel structure can generate a photonic nanojet outside its volume when the refractive index contrast relative to the background medium is higher than 2:1 in the condition of plane wave incidence.When the refractive index is smaller than 2,we show that an ultralong nanojet generated by the two-layer hemisphere has an extension of 28.2 wavelengths,and compared with the homogeneous dielectric hemisphere,it has superior performance in jet length and focal distance.Its dependence on the configuration and refractive index is investigated numerically.According to the simulation of the two-layer dielectric microsphere,a photonic nanojet with a full width at half maximum (FWHM) less than 1/2 wavelength is obtained and the tunable behaviors of the photonic nanojet are demonstrated by changing the reflective indices of the material or radius contrast ratio.
