Nanophotonics
Electron microscopic image of a group of split ring resonators as a metamaterial in distant IR made with two-photon-polymerization. The polymer structures were selectively metallized after generation, in order to ensure that electrically conductive structures are on a non-conductive substrate. Cooperation was with IESL FORTH (Institute of Electronic Structure and Laser, Foundation for Research and Technology, Hellas; image colored)
Work of the group focusses on:
- Nanophotonics, plasmonics and metamaterials – innovative optical components for sensor technology
- Theoretical simulations of electromagnetic fields in nanostructures – studies on the basic characteristics of nanostructured materials
- Laser-based micro- and nanostructuring: Two-photon-polymerization, laser ablation, lithography, laser-induced transfer
- Micro-fluidic and micro-optical systems – integrated optics and micro-laboratories
Current scientific work and projects:
- Investigations on linear and non-linear plasmonic interactions
- Generation and characterization of the optical characteristics of monodispersed and orderly arranged nanoparticles made of metals and semi-conductors
- Time-resolved optical imaging of surface plasmons
- Sensor systems with highly ordered nanoparticle fields
- Research Group „Nanophotonics“ in the Cluster of Excellence QUEST (DFG)
- „Probing of nonlinear plasmon-plasmon interactions” (DFG)
- „microFLUID“ (EU)
