1. An electromagnetic-radiation-emitting device comprising:

  • a multilayer core having an inner layer and an outer layer, wherein the outer layer is configured to surround at least a portion of the inner layer;

    a metallic device layer configured to surround at least a portion of the outer layer; and

    a substrate having a bottom conducting layer in electrical communication with the inner layer and a top conducting layer in electrical communication with the metallic device layer such that the exposed portion emits surface-plasmon-enhanced electromagnetic radiation when an appropriate voltage is applied between the bottom conducting layer and the top conducting layer.
