“…Fabrication of OSCs allows for processing at low temperatures and on inexpensive substrates, such as plastic or paper. Implementation of these systems spans a large field of applications [35][36][37]. Since the discovery of electroluminescence in poly(p-phenylene vinylene) (PPV) [38], light-emitting OSCs have provided photo and electroluminescence in the UV-visible range with high emission efficiencies and large stimulated emission cross-sections [39][40][41][42].…”

“…Polymer nanofibers are suitable for waveguide applications because of low attenuation, optical tunability, and favorable processability [35,39,299]. For a waveguide to function effectively, the waveguide core has to be surrounded by a cladding material with a comparatively lower refractive index, allowing for total internal reflection within the fiber.…”

“…The flat ends of polymer nanofibers have been shown to create an axial Fabry-Perot cavity [35], which can be used for spectra selection and light amplification. Studies by Camposeo et al demonstrated laser emission from electrospun polymer nanofibers manifested via a FabryPerot effect in cavities along the axis of the fiber.…”

Abstract:The fabrication of photonic and electronic structures and devices has directed the manufacturing industry for the last 50 years. Currently, the majority of small-scale photonic devices are created by traditional microfabrication techniques that create features by processes such as lithography and electron or ion beam direct writing. Microfabrication techniques are often expensive and slow. In contrast, the use of electrospinning (ES) in the fabrication of microand nano-scale devices for the manipulation of photons and electrons provides a relatively simple and economic viable alternative. ES involves the delivery of a polymer solution to a capillary held at a high voltage relative to the fiber deposition surface. Electrostatic force developed between the collection plate and the polymer promotes fiber deposition onto the collection plate. Issues with ES fabrication exist primarily due to an instability region that exists between the capillary and collection plate and is characterized by chaotic motion of the depositing polymer fiber. Material limitations to ES also exist; not all polymers of interest are amenable to the ES process due to process dependencies on molecular weight and chain entanglement or incompatibility with other polymers and overall process compatibility. Passive and active electronic and photonic fibers fabricated through the ES have great potential for use in light generation and collection in optical and electronic structures/ devices. ES produces fiber devices that can be combined with inorganic, metallic, biological, or organic materials for novel device design. Synergistic material selection and postprocessing techniques are also utilized for broad-ranging applications of organic nanofibers that span from biological to electronic, photovoltaic, or photonic. As the ability to electrospin optically and/or electronically active materials in a controlled manner continues to improve, the complexity and diversity of devices fabricated from this process can be expected to grow rapidly and provide an alternative to traditional resource-intensive fabrication techniques.

A individually position-addressable large-scale-aligned Cu nanofiber (NF) array is fabricated using electro-hydrodynamic nanowire printing. The printed single-stranded Cu NF has a diameter of about 710 nm and resistivity of 14.1 μΩ cm and is effectively used as source/drain nanoelectrode in pentacene transistors, which show a 25-fold increased hole mobility than that of a device with Cu thin-film electrodes.
