Abstract
We report on the fabrication of electrospun light-emitting polymer nanofibers made by conjugated and dye-doped polymers. The fibers exhibit diameter down to a few tens of nm, and emission in the visible and near-infrared spectral range. The investigation of the photoluminescence properties of the fibers evidences an emission mainly polarized along the fiber axis. The fibers are integrated in prototype microfluidic system as micro-scale polarized light sources.
