Investigating the optical properties on the nanoscale

Our group focuses on the fundamental optical properties on the nanoscale of 2D materials and single-photon emitters to develop novel functionalities for quantum technology applications. We use near-field techniques to achive an optical resolution beyond the diffraction limit together with conventional techniques.

The group is funded by the NRW Rückkehrprogramm Quantentechnologie.

Check out the video of my talk at the Near-field Optical Nanoscopy Summer School (June 2023):

organized by CIC nanoGUNE BRTA, ENSEMBLE3 Centre of Excellence, and neaspec/attocube AG.
I talk about the negative phase contrast which is often observed in s-SNOM images and might hinder the identification of weak molecular absorptions. I explain its origin and methods to correct it.
