Chiral surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) can be generated by linearly polarized light incident at the end of a nanowire, exciting a coherent superposition of three specific nanowire waveguide modes. Images of chiral SPPs on individual nanowires obtained from quantum dot fluorescence excited by the SPP evanescent field reveal the chirality predicted in our theoretical model. The handedness and s...

This work focuses on the optical study of GaN nanowires and AlN microcavities containingGaN quantum dots. The 1-meV linewidth of the neutral donor-bound exciton line in thephotoluminescence spectrum of MBE-grown GaN nanowires evidences that the strain ishomogeneous in the material. These nanowires do not exhibit any excitonic confinement, butthe efficient strain relaxation allow...

Photonic crystals (PhCs) are engineered nanostructures that enable an extraordinary control over the flow of light. These structures can be fabricated out of common semiconductors, are compatible with existing industrial fabrication technologies, and are expected to play a major role in future devices integrating photonic circuits – e.g. for telecommunications or in future quantum technologies....

Due to its unique optoelectronic properties, the quantum dot (QD) has become a promising material for realizing photonic components and devices with high quantum efficiencies. Quantum dots in colloidal form can have their surfaces modified with various molecules, which enables new fabrication process utilizing molecular self-assembly and can result in new QD photonic device structures in nano-s...
