    Hybrid Optical Fibers – An Innovative Platform for In‐Fiber Photonic Devices
    (Weinheim : Wiley-VCH, 2015) Alexander Schmidt, Markus; Argyros, Alexander; Sorin, Fabien
    The field of hybrid optical fibers is one of the most active research areas in current fiber optics and has the vision of integrating sophisticated materials inside fibers, which are not traditionally used in fiber optics. Novel in-fiber devices with unique properties have been developed, opening up new directions for fiber optics in fields of critical interest in modern research, such as biophotonics, environmental science, optoelectronics, metamaterials, remote sensing, medicine, or quantum optics. Here the recent progress in the field of hybrid optical fibers is reviewed from an application perspective, focusing on fiber-integrated devices enabled by including novel materials inside polymer and glass fibers. The topics discussed range from nanowire-based plasmonics and hyperlenses, to integrated semiconductor devices such as optoelectronic detectors, and intense light generation unlocked by highly nonlinear hybrid waveguides.

    Evolution of the charge carrier plasmon in the one-dimensional metal TTF-TCNQ as a function of temperature and momentum
    (Bristol : Institute of Physics Publishing, 2019) Kovbasa, N.; Graf, L.; Knupfer, M.
    We have investigated the charge carrier plasmon in the quasi one-dimensional metal TTF-TCNQ using electron energy-loss spectroscopy. Our data reveal a negative plasmon dispersion with a slope that is independent of temperature, which is in agreement to predictions from model calculations and previous room temperature data. A plasmon energy shift upon temperature is observed, and we discuss possible contributions to this shift. The spectral width of the plasmon is rather temperature independent, but increases clearly above a momentum value of about 0.3 Å-1.

    Nanowire-supported plasmonic waveguide for remote excitation of surface-enhanced Raman scattering
    (London : Nature Publishing Group, 2014) Huang, Y.; Fang, Y.; Zhang, Z.; Zhu, L.; Sun, M.
    Due to its amazing ability to manipulate light at the nanoscale, plasmonics has become one of the most interesting topics in the field of light-matter interaction. As a promising application of plasmonics, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has been widely used in scientific investigations and material analysis. The large enhanced Raman signals are mainly caused by the extremely enhanced electromagnetic field that results from localized surface plasmon polaritons. Recently, a novel SERS technology called remote SERS has been reported, combining both localized surface plasmon polaritons and propagating surface plasmon polaritons (PSPPs, or called plasmonic waveguide), which may be found in prominent applications in special circumstances compared to traditional local SERS. In this article, we review the mechanism of remote SERS and its development since it was first reported in 2009. Various remote metal systems based on plasmonic waveguides, such as nanoparticle-nanowire systems, single nanowire systems, crossed nanowire systems and nanowire dimer systems, are introduced, and recent novel applications, such as sensors, plasmon-driven surface-catalyzed reactions and Raman optical activity, are also presented. Furthermore, studies of remote SERS in dielectric and organic systems based on dielectric waveguides remind us that this useful technology has additional, tremendous application prospects that have not been realized in metal systems.
