Description

Optical waveguides with nanometer diameters are needed to realize nanometer-scaled optical circuits, which promise high-speed and high-capacity information processing. In this work, we fabricate polymer nanofibers with uniform diameters, containing an organic dye. Fluorescence microscopy observations and photoluminescence measurements demonstrate optical waveguiding in the nanofiber.
