 Calculated distributions, in the meridional y-z plane, of |E |2 (where E is the electric field) inside and near a single polystyrene sphere (microlens) located in free space (air, left top) and at a glass substrate (left bottom) are compared here to the corresponding distributions of |E |2 for these microlenses placed each inside a planar closely-packed (hexagonal) array of identical spheres (right). The microlens outline is shown with a white circle. The glass substrate is shown with the vertical line. The distributions are normalized by the field of the incident plane light wave that propagates along the z direction. Refractive indices of each sphere and the substrate are 1.59 and 1.46, respectively. The diameter, d, of each sphere is 1000 nm, and the wavelength of light is 800 nm.
