Abstract

The mechanism of formation of a terahertz jet by a dielectric cuboid and a sphere surrounded by ideally conducting screens is considered. The maximum screen influence is observed when the screen is located near the alight cuboid base. The screen influence eases when the screen is shifting along the dielectric object. Power flux density localization area is almost completely shifted inside the object when the screen is situated in the center. The minimum influence is observed when screen placed in the shadow plane of the cuboid base. This effect caused by the screen influence on electric field component tangential to the side edges and thus on the power flux directed to the central axis of the object. The screen influence on the terahertz jet in spherical object has been compared. Value of the power flux density after passing the object is higher in a cuboid, but the focusing characteristics are better (appearing on shorter distances) in a sphere.
