Abstract

In recent years, flexible one-dimensional (1D) nanomaterials have attracted great attention in various research fields and applications, as they can be applied in optical components and efficiently generated and guided the light at the nanoscale. In this chapter, we reported plasmon-modulated nano-waveguide and ring resonator lasing with quantum dots in polymer nanowire system. For plasmonic nano-waveguides, when the polymer nanowires were doped with quantum dots and combined with gold nanorods, the light emission efficiency was increased by 67% at a wavelength of 600 nm. For the ring resonator lasing, the ring resonator was assembled from polymer nanowires with an optical loss coefficient of 70 cm−1, and a multimode laser emission with a modulus of 9 was obtained, with the wavelength distribution extending from 550 to 650 nm. These flexible 1D nanomaterials would have very great potential in the field of application of optical components.
