Abstract

One-dimensional (1D) nanomaterials synthesized from opto-functional low-molecular-weight organic compounds have drawn great interests for their unique optical properties and potential applications in high speed miniaturized photonic integrations. Compared with their inorganic counterparts, organic nanostructures offer advantages such as their high reactivity, ease of chemical doping and convenience in processing at low temperature. In this article, we begin with a general overview of recent progress in this research area. After that, the construction strategies for achieving 1D nanostructures from small organic functional molecules are introduced. Then we focus on the unique optical properties induced by molecular aggregation in the nanostructures, such as optical waveguide, stimulated emission and electroluminescence. This article concludes with a summary and our perspective about future development in 1D organic molecular nanomaterials and organic integrated photonic devices.
