Nanoscale generation of individual photons in confined geometries is an
exciting research field aiming at exploiting localized electromagnetic fields
for light manipulation. One of the outstanding challenges of photonic systems
combining emitters with nanostructured media is the selective channelling of
photons emitted by embedded sources into specific optical modes and their
transport at distant locations in integrated systems. Here, we show that
soft-matter nanofibers, electrospun with embedded emitters, combine
subwavelength field localization and large broadband near-field coupling with
low propagation losses. By momentum spectroscopy, we quantify the modal
coupling efficiency identifying the regime of single-mode coupling. These
nanofibers do not rely on resonant interactions, making them ideal for
room-temperature operation, and offer a scalable platform for future quantum
information technology
