Nanophotonics and hybrid plasmonics : Different technologies and applications

This paper gives a review of the recent progresses in our research on nanophotonics and hybrid plasmonic geometries, structures and devices. In the first part we present SOI-nanowire-based integrated components. The concept and different configurations of hybrid plasmonic structures will be then discussed. Finally different fabricated devices for applications in optical interconnects and sensing will be presented and characterized.
