An optical waveguide based on a PDA microtube has been prepared through a novel hierarchical assembly method. The waveguide performance of the PDA microtube can be easily modulated upon external stimuli. The polarization of the out‐coupled emission light seems independent of the propagation distance, which should be ascribed to the ordered alignment of PDA chains in the microtube.
