Research Abstract |
Semiconductor lasers, which are widely used today, have a problem that their manufacturing processes require expensive equipments, vacuum environment, and multi-step processes so that the processes require high energies and costs. In this study, we aim to develop a small light source composed of polymer nanofibers which can be produced with low-energy and low-cost. In particular, we have implemented followings: (1) Fabrication of organic dye-doped polymer nanofibers and observation of their shapes, (2) Production of waveguides with a nanofiber-core and polymer-cladding and evaluation of their optical propagation losses,(3) Investigation of origin of the propagation loss.
