Hybrid optical fibers are fiber‐type waveguides including multimaterial large‐aspect ratio nano‐ and microstructures. Using our pressure‐assisted melt‐filling approach various hybrid waveguides have been fabricated inside photonic crystal fibers by filling the air holes with materials such as plasmonic metals, semiconductors, fluids or low‐melting compound glasses. In this talk I will review our latest results on fiber‐based plasmonics including spiraling surface plasmon modes, propagating plasmonic molecules and fiber‐based nearfield probes. I will also talk about hybrid chalcogenide nanowires inside silica fibers, allowing for the generation of coherent supercontinua in the mid‐IR and for efficient band gap guidance in photonic defect structures.

Bio: Markus A. Schmidt owns a full professorship for Fiber Optics at the Friedrich‐Schiller University Jena and is head of the research group Fiber Sensors at the Institute for Photonic Technologies (IPHT). His main research topic is combining fibers and nanophotonics with applications in areas such as biophotonics, plasmonics or nonlinear optics. From 2006 to 2012 he was head of the group nanowire in the division of Philip Russell at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light. He spent a twelve months at the Centre of Plasmonics and Metamaterials at Imperial College London in 2011. He obtained his PhD in 2006 from the University of Technology Hamburg‐Harburg.
