Integrated photonics in the future: Silicon, plasmonics or something else?
Nanophotonics in general and plasmonics in particular have received much attention in recent years, fuelled by a general interest in nanotechnology but also by rapid advances in integrated photonics over the years, primarily brought about by using silicon/air or quartz interfaces, giving larger refractive index contrast than previously employed 1,2. The minimum lateral spatial field width for a planar silicon waveguide in air is ~300 nm, with a wavelength in the medium of ~500 nm, at a vacuum wavelength of 1550 nm. Photonics integration density has thus shown a steady exponential growth since the 80s, but to pursue this state of affairs, it is necessary to find a successor/complement to the silicon technology.
