Abstract
Discontinuous organic thin film growth on the surface of single crystals results in crystalline
nanowires with extraordinary morphological and optoelectronic properties. By way of being
generated at the interface of organic and inorganic materials, these nanowires combine the
advantages of flexible organic films with the defectless character of inorganic crystalline
substrates. The development of destruction-free transfer and direct growth methods allows one
to integrate the organic nanowires into semiconductor, metallic electronic or photonic
platforms. This article details the mechanisms that lead to the growth of these nanowires and
exemplifies some of the linear as well as non-linear photonic properties, such as optical wave
guiding, lasing and frequency conversion. The article also highlights future potential by
showing that organic nanowires can be integrated into optoelectronic devices or hybrid
photonic/plasmonic platforms as passive and active nanoplasmonic elements
