Scientists in France report a new type of hybrid plasmonic device where there is a quantitative, reversible change in the localised surface plasmon resonance wavelength on changing the refractive index – so the plasmon resonance can be controlled. The devices could be used as temperature sensors or as switching elements for signal modulation in plasmonic nano-circuits.
