Nano Optics

Group leader: prof.dr. Kobus Kuipers

The central aim of the NanoOptics Group is the control of light propagation at the nanoscale. The goal is to explore the natural frontiers of light control: length scales of the wavelength or below and time scales approaching that of the optical cycle. The light flows are manipulated with plasmonic nanostructures and photonic crystals. Topics of special interest are slow light and nonlinear optics.

The nanophotonics investigations are carried out with both far-field techniques and phase-sensitive, time-resolved near-field microscopy, which allows a unique visualization of the behaviour of light at the nanoscale.
