Scanning near-field microscopy (SNOM) was used to investigate the low-dimensional semiconductor fluorescence divices, which can work as micro-nano-light source, nano-optical waveguide and light enhancement component in nano-integrated optical circuit. It was found that the quality of semiconductor wire end emission was mainly determined by the sample radius. By designing the wire radius and topography reasonably, it can be used as the light source and optical waveguide in nano-integrated optical circuit. ZnO tetrapod, comb, and CdS multi-branch nano-ribbon also presented quite good adequacy for optical waveguide application, which can function well in light division, congregation, coupling and filtering. 2-D photonic crystal can enhance the light intensity of GaN based LED by as large as 5.2 times. About 30% fluorescence is confined to the surface of photonic crystal. This conclusion is helpful for the optimization of LED light emission. When the resonance excitation condition is fulfilled, Surface plasmm polaritons (SPP) will be excited at the interface between the semiconductor and the silver thin film, which will bring about strong enhancement of electromagnetic field at the interface. Photonic crystal and SPP can realize light enhancement under low_dimensional and nano-scale conditions. The experimental results show that both of them have the potential application as enhancement components in nano-integrated optical circuit.
