Abstract

Photonic microwire and nanowire devices made of silica or multicomponent glasses have opened a new era for fiber photonics. In order to significantly enhance various optical functions like nonlinearity, photosensitivity, fluorescence, birefringence, special dispersion and so forth in the micro- or nano-fiber devices, different kinds of ions or host glass are employed. In this paper, we report the fabrication and applications of several kinds of photonic microwire and nanowire devices including the multicolor fluorescence emission, polarizers, and filters.
