尽管化学合成纳米线的电集成已经通过光刻实现，但有望实现高速度和更大设备多功能性的光学集成仍未得到探索。我们描述了充当亚波长光波导的单个晶体氧化物纳米带的特性和功能，并评估了它们作为纳米级光子元件的适用性。这些结构的长度、灵活性和强度使其能够在表面上进行操作，包括纳米带波导和其他纳米线元件的光学连接以形成网络和设备组件。我们演示了带状波导与纳米线光源和探测器的组装，这是构建纳米线光子电路的第一步。
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 subwaveiength 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 circuitry.
