The assembly of hybrid nanophotonic devices from different fundamental photonic entities--such as single molecules, nanocrystals, semiconductor quantum dots, nanowires and metal nanoparticles--can yield functionalities that exceed those of the individual subunits. Combining these photonic elements requires nanometre-scale fabrication precision and potentially involves a material diversity that is incompatible with standard nanotechnological processes. Although merging these different systems on a single hybrid platform is at present challenging, it promises improved performance and novel devices. Particularly rapid progress is seen in the combination of plasmonic-dielectric constituents with quantum emitters that can be assembled on demand into fundamental model systems for future optical elements.
将不同基本光子实体（如单个分子、纳米晶体、半导体量子点、纳米线和金属纳米粒子）组装成混合纳米光子器件，可以产生超越单个亚单位功能的特性。将这些光子元件组合在一起需要纳米级的制造精度，并且可能涉及与标准纳米技术工艺不兼容的材料多样性。尽管将这些不同的系统合并到单个混合平台上目前具有挑战性，但它有望提高性能并开发出新的设备。在将等离子体-介电成分与可以按需组装成未来光学元件基本模型系统的量子发射器结合方面，进展尤其迅速。
