Soft matter for integrated photonics and resonances: Various hybrid approaches and adaptive technologies

Integrated photonics is increasingly used in sensors and metrology applications. Moreover, the ability to develop new photonic devices through simple, low cost and mass production fabrication steps based on new materials and hybrid approaches is substantial. We will give an overview of targeted current research on integrated photonics based on various hybrid technologies so as to develop multiple families of resonant integrated structures called resonators shaped in 2D or 3D. Such devices devoted to optical resonances and sensors applications and their solving approach highlight the interest to develop specific hybrid processes such as nano-biomolecular film deposition as lipids, self-assembled and micro-fluidic devices, plasma treatments coupled with microtechnology thin layers processes using deep UV lithography and so on.
