Figure 1: Comparison of electric-field intensity profiles in the cross-section of the nanowire (a) and the along the axial direction of the nanowire (b). Both cases demonstrate that for larger nanowire side-lengths, d, waveguided modes exist and are confined within the nanowire, while for smaller nanowires with no supported modes, emission and propagation is notably similar to without the nanowire.
