The optical-transport properties of 1D Se-doped CdS nanostructures with different doping contents and/or crystallization degrees are reported. The locally excited photoluminescence shows a significant redshift during the transport along the long axis of the 1D structures and can leave enough PL intensity for detection. The magnitude of the redshift is found to be highly dependent on the content of doping and the crystallization degree. The experimental results are compared with theoretical calculations based on the fundamental absorption rule of the semiconductor, which demonstrates that the redshift is related to the optical reabsorption effects induced by the local structural disorder in the semiconductors. Such optical properties of 1D semiconductor structures might be of interest for potential applications in color-tunable nanosized light-emitting and/or frequency-converting devices.

We report the Se-doped and undoped CdS nanoribbons synthesized by a Au-catalyzed thermal evaporation route, have good optical waveguide behaviors. Optical measurements demonstrate light can be guided on sub-wavelength scales along CdS nanoribbons with assembled structures, such as branched and crossed structures. The guided photoluminescence (PL) spectra along Se-doped and undoped CdS nanoribbons at different propagation distance were investigated by using near-field optical microscopy.

An all-optical power-controlled switch is described. It is based on the modulation of self-diffracted beams by a control beam that modifies the third-order grating excited in a nonlinear medium. The experimental results obtained by using Cd(S, Se)-doped glasses are in agreement with the theoretical predictions.
