In the last decades, intense carrier-envelope-phase-stable (CEP-stable) and near-single-cycle, coherent mid-infrared sources have become charming for a variety of applications in physics, chemistry and ...
Roque Fernández, Pablo Manuel de (Date of defense: 2022-10-18)
(English) Nanophotonics can be defined as the science and technology studying the control optical fields at the nanoscale and their interaction with matter. In order to spatially control such fields we ...
Hesp, Niels Caspar Herman (Date of defense: 2021-10-20)
Nano-optics studies the behaviour of light on the nanoscale. In particular, it probes the interaction of light with objects, often of nanometre-size, and reveals fine details of the material's optical ...
Sukeert, Sukeert (Date of defense: 2022-03-11)
Tunable laser sources in different spectral regions are of interest for a variety of applications including spectroscopy, trace gas sensing, medical diagnostics, LIDAR and material processing. Existing ...
Máttar Flores, Alejandro (Date of defense: 2017-10-17)
According to recent estimates, 10^18 bytes of data are generated on a daily basis around the globe. Our information society urges for radical solutions to treat such data deluge. By exploiting fundamental ...
Alda, Irene (Date of defense: 2020-07-09)
The field of levitation optomechanics---or levitodynamics---studies the manipulation and control of small trapped objects in an isolated environment, providing a gateway to answer fundamental questions ...
Kottmann, Korbinian Gebhard (Date of defense: 2022-10-14)
(English) We perform quantum simulation on classical and quantum computers and set up a machine learning framework in which we can map out phase diagrams of known and unknown quantum many-body systems ...
Block, Alexander (Date of defense: 2019-09-06)
Heat transport in solids is one of the oldest problems in physics, dating back to the earliest formulations of thermodynamics. The classical laws of heat conduction are valid as long as the observed ...
Woessner, Achim (Date of defense: 2017-05-11)
Plasmons are charge oscillations coupled to electromagnetic radiation. One of their most intriguing properties is their deep subwavelength confinement resulting in strongly enhanced light-matter ...
Gellings, Esther (Date of defense: 2020-02-21)
At room temperature, individual molecules can be found in different conformations due to intrinsic and extrinsic factors which are reflected in spectral variability. When detecting single molecules, the ...
