C – Plasmon-enhanced nonlinear optics in low-dimensional hybrids
Project Area C focuses on effective zero- and one-dimensional plasmonic hybrid systems. Metallic tips and tailor-made hybrid nanostructures are used to control light at the subwavelength scale, enabling investigations down to the single-molecule limit, e.g., with nonlinear optics tools such as Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Spectroscopy (CARS). Novel nonlinear spectroscopic techniques will be developed aiming at measuring ultrafast vibrational and electronic dynamics, e.g., employing high order harmonics.
