The synthesis, structure, internal morphology, and optical characteristics of melt-processed polyfluorene nanowires are presented. Single wires can act as nanoscale active optical waveguides, allowing locally excited photoluminescence to propagate along a wire axis prior to out-coupling at the tips (see image). The nanowire waveguide loss mechanisms and their physical origins are investigated.
