Abstract
We report on waveguiding in bundles of parallel oriented semiconductor nanowires, self-assembled from colloidal CdTe nanocrystals in solution at room temperature. Individual bundles, as narrow as 170 nm, act as single-mode, subwavelength waveguides for red visible light. Losses are dominated by reabsorption and allow waveguiding over distances of micrometers. This renders self-assembled NW bundles candidates for low-cost, short-distance optical interconnects in hybrid electronic-photonic circuits.
