Investigating 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.

Our contribution to the advent calendar of the University. The picture demonstrates the improved spatial resolution in optical images below the Abbe limit when using a near-field microscope.
Many thanks to Nicolai Bathen (AG Wurstbauer) and Matthias Volz (AG Krenner) for producing the sample.
