| Abstract | The propagation of Surface Plasmon Polaritons (SPP) presents high interest nowadays because its hybrid nature in between electromagnetic and surface charge waves that allows exotic properties like subwavelength confinement, strong near electric field or high sensitivity to the environment. Particularly, waveguides based on SPPs can reduce the dimensions and power consumption of devices and circuitry in integrated optics. However, there is an important limitation in the propagation of SPPs because the signal suffers significant absorption losses in the metal. This attenuation can be overcome by using gain materials adjacent to the metal or by combining plasmonic and dielectric waveguides that exhibit reduced propagation losses. In this work nanocomposites made by the dispersion of colloidal CdSe quantum dots (QDs) in a polymer matrix are proposed to be designed together with plasmonic waveguides. These nanocomposites are useful because they join the properties of the QDs (room temperature emission and tunable wavelength) with the technological feasibility of polymers (thin film deposition by simple methods and patterning by e-beam or UV lithography). Indeed, a QD-PMMA film can act as the active core of a dielectric waveguide when it is deposited on a $SiO_{2}/Si$ substrate and, if the nanocomposite is adjacent to a metal layer or stripe, the photoluminescence of the CdSe QDs can be coupled to SPPs through the interface. In fact, we demonstrate the compensation of the SPP propagation length by using such a nanocomposite in the waveguide by providing gain to the SPP or by allowing the propagation of hybrid dielectric-plasmonic modes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
