  Polarization dependence of the exciton-plasmon-photon conversion in silver
nanowire-quantum dots structure was investigated using a scanning confocal
microscope system. We found that the fluorescence enhancement of the CdSe
nanocrystals was correlated with the angle between the excitation light
polarization and the silver nanowire direction. The polarization of the
emission was also related with the nanowire direction. It was in majority in
the direction parallel with nanowire.
