TL;DR: The results show that plasmonics is indeed a viable path to an ultracompact, highest-speed, and low-cost technology that might find many applications in a wide range of fields of sensing and communications because it is compatible with and can be placed on a wide variety of materials.

TL;DR: In this paper, a vertical grating coupler with high directionality and low back-reflection was realized using a blazed subwavelength structure, and the measured maximum coupling efficiencies with a standard single-mfiber were −1.5 dB and −2.2 dB for apodized and periodic structures, respectively.

TL;DR: A monolithically integrated electro-optical transmitter that can achieve symbol rates beyond 100 GBd is reported, and addresses key challenges in monolithic integration through co-design of the electronic and plasmonic layers, including thermal design, packaging and a nonlinear organic Electro-optic material.

TL;DR: Simulation results indicate that the proposed scheme is suitable to deal with impairments from transmission over longer distances and it is sufficient to update the elements of the DL network using a signal with high nonlinearity when dispersion or non linearity conditions changes.

TL;DR: In this article, a new plasmonic transmitter solution offering 0.8 Tbit/s on an ultra-compact 90 µm × 5.5 µm footprint is introduced.
