Abstract
Techniques for fabricating semiconductor quantum wires continue to proliferate and improve, yielding shrinking dimensions and clearer evidence for the sought after quantum confinement effects. However, practical application of quantum wires in optical devices requires that stringent demands must be fulfilled. It is not obvious how soon this will occur. This talk will discuss basic concepts involved in potential optical devices utilizing quantum wires, and how they relate to the goal of achieving practical devices.
