Highly polarized light emission by isotropic quantum dots integrated with magnetically aligned segmented nanowires by Jun, Shinae, Erdem, Talha, Guzelturk, Burak, Perkgöz, Nihan Kosku, Uran, Can, Jang, Eunjoo, Demir, Hilmi Volkan

“…In this work, we demonstrate a proof-of-concept system for generating highly polarized light from colloidal quantum dots (QDs) coupled with magnetically aligned segmented Au/Ni/Au nanowires (NWs). Optical characterizations reveal that the optimized QD-NW coupled structures emit highly polarized light with an s-to p-polarization (s/p) contrast as high as 15:1 corresponding to a degree of polarization of 0.88. …”
