Abstract

Abstract : In article number 2101649, Filippo Pisano and co‐workers demonstrate a first step towards implantable multimodal plasmonic neural interfaces. This was achieved by integrating highly‐curved plasmonic nanostructures on a tapered optical fiber in order to engineer the spectral and angular patterns of optical emission and collection, with applications to fluorescence and Raman spectroscopy.
