Successful exploitations of strongly confined surface plasmon-polaritons critically rely on their efficient and rapid conversion to lossless channels. We demonstrate a simple, robust, and broad-band butt-coupling technique for connecting a metallic nanowire and a dielectric nanofiber. Conversion efficiencies above 95% in the visible and close to 100% in the near infrared can be achieved with realistic parameters. Moreover, by combining butt-coupling with nanofocusing, we propose a broad-band high-throughput near-field optical microscope.
