Silicon hybrid surface plasmonic nano-optics-waveguide and integration devices

In this paper, our recent theoretical and experimental results on silicon hybrid nanoplasmonic waveguides and integrated devices are reviewed. First, we present several types of silicon hybrid nanoplasmon- ic waveguides, which enable the confinement of optical field within the lateral scale of 100 nm, as well as a 102 μm propagation distance. Second, several kinds of submieron photonic integrated devices like power split- ters, ultra-compact polarization beam splitters and resonators are presented by using silicon hybrid nanoplas- monic waveguides. Finally, the coupling between silicon hybrid nanoplasmonic waveguides and silicon nanowires, as well as the loss compensation of silicon hybrid nanoplasmonic waveguides with gain mediums has also been discussed.
