Abstract

As typical one-dimensional nanostructures, photonic nanowires (e.g., semiconductor nanowires, glass nanowires, polymer nanowires and metallic nanowires) offer unique properties for manipulating light on nanoscale with tight optical confinement, strong near-field interaction, field enhancement and abnormal dispersion[1], which opens new opportunities for exploring light-matter interaction on the nanoscale, as well as for intriguing nanoscale photonic circuits and devices that is superior to their conventional counterparts. This talk introduces our recent work on the generation (e.g., nanowire light emission[2,3] and lasing[4,5]), wavelength conversion (e.g., second-harmonic and supercontinuum generation in single nanowires[6,7]), propagation (e.g., nanowire waveguides[8]), modulation (e.g., single nanowire ultrafast optical modulators[9]) and detection (e.g., single nanowire photodetector [10] and sensors [11,12]) of light with single nanowires.
