This has led to a host of nanowire photonic devices including photodetectors, chemical and gas sensors, waveguides, LEDs, microcavity lasers, solar cells and nonlinear optical converters.

The types of nanowires can be broadly categorized into the following: Each type of nanowire has its unique set of properties and applications, driven by its material composition. This diversity allows ...
