Abstract
An on-chip biochemical sensor based on two-dimensional waveguide-integrated plasmonic crystal formed by a nanogap tile (NGT) array is realized. By using on-chip optical lenses, an ultra-wide collimated Gaussian beam is launched, coupled with surface plasmonic crystals and collected with relatively low additional insertion loss, allowing a large sensing area. The optical field enhancement and stop-band shift of the NGT device for biochemical sensing are numerically and experimentally demonstrated with sensitivity reaching up to ${\sim}{260}\;{\rm nm/RIU}$∼260nm/RIU. Our sensor is demonstrated with monolayer thiol molecules illustrating that it can be functionalized with this class of molecule which is commonly used with bulk surface plasmon resonance sensors.

Abstract
We demonstrate asymmetric transmission of light in hybrid waveguide-integrated plasmonic crystals where triangular silver islands create a regular array of nanogaps which couple to an underlying silicon-on-insulator optical waveguide. Up to 60% difference is observed between light transmission in the forward and backward directions. This asymmetric transmission of light is not caused by an external magnetic field or nonlinearity, but solely a consequence of the structure geometry.

Abstract
Coupled resonator optical waveguides (CROWs) have the potential to revolutionise integrated optics, to slow-light and enhance linear and non-linear optical phenomena. Here we exploit the broad resonances and subwavelength nature of localized surface plasmons in a compact CROW design where plasmonic nanoparticles are side coupled to a dielectric waveguide. The plasmonic CROW features a low loss central mode with a highly tunable dispersion, that avoids coupling to the plasmonic nanoparticles close to the band-edge. We show that this low loss character is preserved in finite plasmonic CROWs giving rise to Fabry-Perot type resonances that have high quality factors of many thousands, limited only by the CROW length. Furthermore we demonstrate that the proposed CROW design is surprisingly robust to disorder. By varying the geometric parameters one can not only reduce the losses into dissipative or radiative channels but also control the outcoupling of energy to the waveguide. The ability to minimise loss in plasmonic CROWs while maintaining dispersion provides an effective cavity design for chip-integrated laser devices and applications in linear and non-linear nano-photonics.

Abstract
We introduce nanogap-embedded silver plasmonic gratings for single-molecule (SM) visualization using an epifluorescence microscope. This silver plasmonic platform was fabricated by a cost-effective nano-imprint lithography technique, using an HD DVD template. DNA/ RNA duplex molecules tagged with Cy3/Cy5 fluorophores were immobilized on SiO2-capped silver gratings. Light was coupled to the gratings at particular wavelengths and incident angles to form surface plasmons. The SM fluorescence intensity of the fluorophores at the nanogaps showed approximately a 100-fold mean enhancement with respect to the fluorophores observed on quartz slides using an epifluorescence microscope. This high level of enhancement was due to the concentration of surface plasmons at the nanogaps. When nanogaps imaged with epifluorescence mode were compared to quartz imaged using total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy, more than a 30-fold mean enhancement was obtained. Due to the SM fluorescence enhancement of plasmonic gratings and the correspondingly high emission intensity, the required laser power can be reduced, resulting in a prolonged detection time prior to photobleaching. This simple platform was able to perform SM studies with a low-cost epifluorescence apparatus, instead of the more expensive TIRF or confocal microscopes, which would enable SM analysis to take place in most scientific laboratories.
