This has led to a host of nanowire photonic devices including photodetectors, chemical and gas sensors, waveguides, LEDs, microcavity lasers, solar cells and nonlinear optical converters.
Caption Drawing of a single nanowire photodetector. When light strikes the nanowire in such a way that an electron and hole in the semiconducting material split apart, the electron runs along the ...
