Self-modulated taper drawing of silica nanowires

Journal Article

We report a self-modulated taper-drawing process for fabricating silica nanowires with diameters down to 20 nm. Long amorphous silica nanowires obtained with this top-down approach present extraordinary uniformities that have not been achieved by any...

Assembly of silica nanowires on silica aerogels for microphotonic devices

Journal Article

We report on the assembly of low-loss silica nanowires into functional microphotonics devices on a low-index non-dissipative silica aerogel substrate. Using this all-silica technique, we fabricated linear waveguides, waveguide bends and branch couplers...

Nanoscale nonlinear optics using silica nanowires

Thesis

We have fabricated silica fibers with diameters less than one micrometer and molecularly smooth side walls. We modeled the waveguide properties and demonstrated low-loss light propagation over tens of millimeters, sufficient for microphotonic device...

High Order Waveguide Modes in ZnO Nanowires

Journal Article

We use tapered silica fibers to inject laser light into ZnO nanowires with diameters around 250 nm to study their waveguiding properties. We find that high-order waveguide modes are frequently excited and carry significant intensity at the wire surface...
