Experimental observation of asymmetrical microwave jets and far-field distribution generated by a dual-material system

Abstract In this paper, we report the experimental and numerical investigation of plane wave diffraction by an all-dielectric dual-material cuboid. Edge diffraction by a cuboid leads to the generation of a narrow, high intensity beam in the near-field region called a photonic jet. We examine the dep...
