Finally, HMMs with two different geometries have been realized, AZO trenches and AZO pillars standing in a dielectric host (air or Si). Furthermore, it has been proposed that high aspect ratio grating structures with AZO lamellas in a silicon matrix function as a versatile platform supporting both surface and volume infrared waves. By selective etching of Si the performance of the whole structure
