AB  - A method for the large-scale fabrication of patterned organic nanowire (NW) 
      arrays is demonstrated by the use of laser interference patterning (LIP) in 
      conjunction with inductively coupled plasma (ICP) etching. The NW arrays can be 
      fabricated after a short ICP etching of periodic patterns produced through LIP. 
      Arrays of NWs have been fabricated in UV-absorbent polymers, such as PET 
      (polyethylene terephthalate) and Dura film (76% polyethylene and 24% 
      polycarbonate), through laser interference photon ablation and in UV transparent 
      polymers such as PVA (polyvinyl acetate) and PP (polypropylene) through laser 
      interference lithography of a thin layer of photoresist coated atop the polymer 
      surface. The dependence of the structure and morphology of NWs as a function of 
      initial pattern created by LIP and the laser energy dose in LIP is discussed. The 
      absence of residual photoresist atop the NWs in UV-transparent polymers is 
      confirmed through Raman spectroscopy.
