Abstract
An enhancement in inelastic light scattering intensity from porous-silicon quantum wires has been discovered. It is shown that this effect is caused by a decrease in the absorption coefficient of the optical medium formed by quasi-one-dimensional structures, with the crystal structure of the wires themselves remaining unchanged.
