Abstract

The disclosure concerns a method for manufacturing a device for forming at least one focused beam in a near zone, from an electromagnetic wave incident on said device. The method includes depositing a dielectric material layer with a first refractive index on a substrate layer, creating at least one cavity by a microfabrication technique in the dielectric material layer, the device for forming at least one focused beam in a near zone of the substrate layer (110) and the dielectric material layer, filling the at least one cavity with a material having a second refractive index lower than the first refractive index, determining a deviation between a measured focused beam radiation angle obtained from the device for forming at least one focused beam in a near zone and an expected focused beam radiation angle and modifying locally at least one of the two refractive indexes according to the deviation.
