“…For such coatings semiconductor nanowire (NW) or nanopillar (NP) arrays are excellent candidates since they can be fabricated by growth or by conventional pattern transfer methods. In the recent years, NWs/NPs have been extensively investigated for specific optical properties and device applications, such as broadband anti-reflection 47,58 , solar cells 59,60 , visible LEDs 33,34,48,61 , photodetectors 62 , and second-harmonic generation (SHG) 25,63 . Although NW/NP arrays can provide efficient in-coupling of light, efficient light absorption, and enhanced light extraction (compared to planar films) they are much less investigated as color converters.…”
