We have succeeded to synthesize nanomaterials doped polymer nanowires by a pulsed laser irradiation. The polymer nanowires grew perpendicular to the surface of a source film that included the nanomaterials and dye molecules as a photoabsorber. The technique is one of the solutions for fabricating of molecular devises using functional nanomaterials.
