The invention relates to a plasmonic device and a method for fabricating a plasmonic device. The plasmonic device comprises a substrate on which is arranged a plasmonic section which includes at least one inorganic confining structure adjacent to an organic optical material for providing a plasmonic waveguide. The organic optical material originates from one or more processes for arranging the organic optical material in a limited area. A protective layer is deposited for covering and/or enclosing the organic optical material for improved reliability of the plasmonic waveguide.

Plasmonic device and a method for fabricating a plasmonic device

A push-pull device () comprises: a first waveguide (W) arranged between its first and second electrode (S, S) and a second waveguide (W) arranged between its first and a second electrode (S, S). Electrically conductive structures (T, T, T, T) extend away from one or more of the electrodes (S, S, S, S) for electrically connecting at least two of the electrodes (S, S, S, S). The waveguides (W, W) and the electrodes (S, S, S, S) originate from a pre-fabrication process. The waveguides (W, W) are poled by a poling (P) originating from a poling process. The electrically conductive structures (T, T, T, T) originating: from the pre-fabrication process, wherein one or more of the electrically conductive structures (T, T, T, T) extend to one or more electrically non-conductive gaps (G, G), and wherein the device () further comprises one or more electrically conductive elements (C, C) for electrically connecting two of the electrodes (S, S, S, S), the electrically conductive elements (C, C) being related to the electrically non-conductive gaps (G, G) and originating from a post-fabrication process; and/or from a post-fabrication process.
