An Evanescent Coupling Approach for Optical Characterization of ZnO Nanowires
-
Abstract
Using a nanoscale silica fiber taper,light can be efficiently coupled into a single ZnO nanowire by means of evanescent coupling.The method is valid for launching light into a single nanowire in the ultraviolet to infrared range with a coupling efficiency of 25%.Low-loss optical guiding of ZnO nanowires is demonstrated,and the photoluminescence of a single ZnO nanowire is also observed.Compared to conventional approaches in which a lens-focused laser beam is used to excite nanowires at specific wavelengths,this evanescent coupling approach has advantages such as high coupling efficiency and broad-band validity,and it is promising for the optical characterization of semiconductor nanowires or nanoribbons.-
