| contents | We propose a rigorous, physically interpretable, and quantifiable definition of the photonic nanojet (PNJ). This framework resolves longstanding ambiguities in measuring PNJ dimensions and leverages an optimal mass transport-based metric to quantify PNJ quality. Building on this metric, we develop a PNJ steering methodology that requires no opto-mechanical intervention, relying solely on phase-only illumination modulation. |
