    • Optics and Photonics
    • Materials Science
    • Nanotechnology

    Background:

    • Creating complex surface patterns is crucial for advanced optical and material applications.
    • Controlling light at the nanoscale, particularly through photonic jets, offers unique possibilities.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the formation of complex surface patterns using a combination of near-field colloidal lithography and multiple-beam laser interference.
    • To explore the generation of controllable bright and dim photonic jets beneath dielectric spheres in a colloidal monolayer.
