TLDR
The properties and functions of individual crystalline oxide nanoribbons that act as subwavelength optical waveguides are described and their applicability as nanoscale photonic elements are assessed.Abstract:
Although the electrical integration of chemically synthesized nanowires has been achieved with lithography, optical integration, which promises high speeds and greater device versatility, remains unexplored We describe the properties and functions of individual crystalline oxide nanoribbons that act as subwavelength optical waveguides and assess their applicability as nanoscale photonic elements The length, flexibility, and strength of these structures enable their manipulation on surfaces, including the optical linking of nanoribbon waveguides and other nanowire elements to form networks and device components We demonstrate the assembly of ribbon waveguides with nanowire light sources and detectors as a first step toward building nanowire photonic circuitryread more

Surface plasmon subwavelength optics
TL;DR: By altering the structure of a metal's surface, the properties of surface plasmons—in particular their interaction with light—can be tailored, which could lead to miniaturized photonic circuits with length scales that are much smaller than those currently achieved.

Nanobelts of Semiconducting Oxides
TL;DR: The beltlike morphology appears to be a distinctive and common structural characteristic for the family of semiconducting oxides with cations of different valence states and materials of distinct crystallographic structures, which could be an ideal system for fully understanding dimensionally confined transport phenomena in functional oxides.

Single-nanowire electrically driven lasers
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the feasibility of achieving electrically driven lasing from individual nanowires and show that these structures can function as Fabry-Perot optical cavities with mode spacing inversely related to the nanowire length.
