Description
The Nanooptics Group performs experimental and theoretical research in Nanooptics and Nanophotonics, covering both fundamental and applied aspects. Essentially, we develop near-field nanoscopy (scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscopy, s-SNOM) and infrared nanospectroscopy (Fourier transform infrared nanospectroscopy, nano-FTIR) and apply these novel analytical tools in different areas of science and technology.
Both techniques offer a wavelength-independent spatial resolution of about 10-20nm spatial resolution at visible, infrared and terahertz frequencies, thus beating the conventional resolution (diffraction) limit by a factor up to 1000. The main research lines of the group are the following:
Plasmonics and Phononics
Advanced near-field instrumentation
Applications of infrared nanospectroscopy in materials sciences, chemistry and biological sciences
