An ultrafast and ultralow‐power on‐chip‐triggered all‐optical switch is realized based on a plasmon–photon hybrid nanostructure‐coated multicomponent nanocomposite in integrated photonic circuits. This not only paves a way to overcome the intrinsic material limitations for the realization of very‐large‐scale integrated photonic circuits and chips, but also provides a lab‐on‐chip platform for the fundamental research of nonlinear optics and quantum optics.
