TLDR
Hybrid plasmonic waveguides as discussed by the authors employ a high-gain semiconductor nanostructure functioning as a gain medium that is separated from a metal substrate surface by a nanoscale thickness thick low-index gap.
Abstract
Hybrid plasmonic waveguides are described that employ a high-gain semiconductor nanostructure functioning as a gain medium that is separated from a metal substrate surface by a nanoscale thickness thick low-index gap. The waveguides are capable of efficient generation of sub-wavelength high intensity light and have the potential for large modulation bandwidth >1 THz.

Hybrid Optical–Thermal Antennas for Enhanced Light Focusing and Local Temperature Control

TL;DR: In this article, a design of hybrid optical-thermal antennas that simultaneously enable intensity enhancement at the operating wavelength in the visible and nanoscale local temperature control is presented, where the authors demonstrate a possibility to reduce the hybrid antenna operating temperature via enhanced infrared thermal emission.

Hybridizing CH3NH3PbBr3 microwires and tapered fibers for efficient light collection

TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate a simple way to couple perovskite microlasers into conventional single mode fibers, and they show that the emissions along the single mode fiber are more than an order of magnitude larger than the collected emission with a 40× objective lens.
