Abstract :
Plasmonic integrated optics is an attempt to bridge the length scale gap between optics and nanometer scale electronic devices. Here we present a hybrid optical interconnect scheme which utilizes low loss dielectric waveguides for global interconnection and plasmonic structures for tightly confining light for local routing and mode manipulation.
