3/20/2009  -  Article on our research activities in "Neues Deutschland"

The nationwide newspaper "Neues Deutschland" published an article (in German) about our studies on the interaction of light and electrons in nanostructures.

2/23/2009  -  New review article just appeared in Laser and Photonics Reviews

Parinda Vasa and Robert Pomraenke have just published a comprehensive review article in Laser and Photonics Reviews together with Claus Ropers from the University of Göttingen. The article covers various research topics in "Ultrafast Nano-Optics" which are currently being pursued in our group.
Examples include measurements of the ultrafast nonlinear response of single semiconductor quantum dots, the generation of novel nanoscopic electron source and work on exploring the unusual effects that occur when metallic and metal-semiconductor hybrid nanostructures interact with light.
Please have a look!
