“…Due to the reduction of mode size much below the diffraction limit, extremely compact devices (sub-100nm dimensions) can be realized [209][210][211][212][213]. Several passive and active components have been proposed and demonstrated, including power splitters [214,215] and polarization splitters/converters [216][217][218][219][220][221], microring resonators [222][223][224][225], modulators [226][227][228][229][230][231], switch [232]. A review on recent developments can be found in [233].…”

Silicon photonics has experienced phenomenal transformations over the last decade. In this paper, we present some of the notable advances in silicon-based passive and active optical interconnect components, and highlight some of our key contributions. Light is also cast on few other parallel technologies that are working in tandem with silicon-based structures, and providing unique functions not achievable with any single system acting alone. With an increasing utilization of CMOS foundries for silicon photonics fabrication, a viable path for realizing extremely low-cost integrated optoelectronics has been paved. These advances are expected to benefit several application domains in the years to come, including communication networks, sensing, and nonlinear systems.

Plasmonics has attracted a lot of interest in the past few years because of its unique features, especially for its ability to confine light in extremely small volumes. However, application of plasmonics is restricted by the large propagation loss associated with plasmonic waveguides. On the other hand, dielectric waveguides enjoy low loss, although the mode confinement is relatively weaker. Hybrid plasmonic waveguides (HPWGs), which combine these two guiding mechanisms, allow one to utilize the benefits of both technologies. Over the past few years there have been intense research activities around the world on this new guiding scheme. In this work the operating principle of HPWGs, various HPWG structures proposed by different research groups, and their potentail applications are reviewed.
