This article focuses on one-dimensional (1D) semiconductor subwavelength optical elements and assesses their potential use as active and passive components in photonic devices. An updated overview of their optical properties, including spontaneous emission, ultrafast carrier dynamics, cavity resonance feedback (lasing), photodetection, and waveguiding, is provided. The ability to physically manipulate these structures on surfaces to form simple networks and assemblies is the first step toward integrating chemically synthesized nanomaterials into photonic circuitry. These high index semiconductor nanowires are capable of efficiently guiding light through liquid media, suggesting a role for such materials in microfluidics-based biosensing applications.
本文聚焦于一维（1D）半导体亚波长光学元件，并评估其作为光子器件中的有源和无源组件的潜在用途。文中提供了对其光学特性的最新综述，包括自发发射、超快载流子动力学、腔共振反馈（激光）、光探测和波导。在表面对这些结构进行物理操控以形成简单网络和组件的能力，是将化学合成纳米材料集成到光子电路中的第一步。这些高折射率半导体纳米线能够有效地在液体介质中引导光，这表明此类材料在基于微流体的生物传感应用中可发挥作用。
