Group leader Joachim R. Krenn
Our research program is devoted to the investigation of the physical
concepts of a subwavelength light technology (Nano-Optics), mainly based on
plasmonic excitations in metal nanostructures and including molecules, quantum dots and porous silicon.
Our experimental methods include scanning
near-field optical microscopy, electron-beam-lithography,
micro-absorption, fluorescence and Raman spectroscopy, nonlinear
optics and femtosecond laser techniques.
Associated to our group is the Erwin Schrödinger Institute
for Nanoscale Research which screens the results of our research
for technological applications.
