Abstract

A novel class of optically anisotropic materials is presented. Layers of semiconductor nanowires fabricated in a bottom-up process exhibit a large in-plane birefringence and show quarter-wavelength retardation for a wavelength of 690 nm. These nanowire metamaterials are promising materials for optical gas- and biosensing.
