Abstract :
In my presentation I will review our recent results related to nanophotonic hybrid waveguides in fiber form. I will discuss plasmonic hybridization of spiralling plasmons excited on metallic nanowires in photonic crystal fibers. I will also discuss the optical properties and fabrication of highly nonlinear chalcogenide-silica waveguides and their application in infrared supercontinuum generation.
