    Area of Science:

    • Optoelectronics
    • Nanotechnology
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Micro/nano optoelectronic devices are crucial for integrated microsystems and logic units.
    • Anisotropic waveguides are key components for advanced optical interconnections.
    • Cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanowires offer unique optoelectronic properties for device fabrication.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To construct an optical switch utilizing a 2D CdS branched nanowire array.
    • To investigate the relationship between branch angle and guided photoluminescence (PL) intensity.
    • To develop an on-chip position-sensitive detector for all-optical information processing.

    Main Methods:

    • Fabrication of a 2D CdS branched nanowire array with obliquely distributed branches.
    • Utilizing anisotropic waveguides for optical switching.
    • Measuring guided photoluminescence (PL) intensity from the nanowire trunk to branches.

    Main Results:

    • An optical switch with an on/off ratio of 2.14 was successfully built.
    • The guided PL intensity was found to be directly related to the angle of the branches.
    • Accurate identification of incident spot position based on varying PL intensity was achieved.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed CdS branched nanowire array functions as an effective optical switch.
    • The angle-dependent PL intensity allows for on-chip position sensing.
    • This technology enables feasible all-optical information processing and integrated microsystems.
