“…An important aspect that is yet to be explored in such a system is the far-field intensity pattern of the out-coupled radiation. Given that vertically oriented nanowire structures can result in interesting radiation patterns [20,14,16,40,15], polarization [2,12] and near field profiles [25], studying them will have direct implication on sub-wavelength light emitting devices [11,1], resonators [19] and nano-optical sources carrying orbital angular momentum [23,30,33,18]. Motivated by this, we studied experimentally and numerically the resulting radiation pattern from the distal, free end of a single, vertically oriented organic nanowire made of 1,5-Diaminoanthroquinone (DAAQ) coupled to Au thin film.…”
