Summary
Organic crystalline nanofibers are a new class of nanoscaled organic materials that bear high potential as model systems for optics and photonics at the diffraction limit. In addition, due to the possibility to tailor to a large extent morphology as well as optoelectronic properties, organic nanofibers are promising elements for future integrated devices. In this chapter the specific growth conditions are discussed that make the fabrication of this kind of matter possible as well as a range of applications in nano- and microoptics.
