Ultrafast nanooptics

Nonlinear plasmon-plasmon interactions - ultrafast plasmonic switchers (Reinhardt)

The aim of this project is the investigation of ultrafast SPP-SPP interactions and switching possibilities using linear, nonlinear, and electron-electron interactions on metallic films and in dielectric media. The experimental investigations of ultrashort SPP excitation, propagation, and their interactions are based on time-resolved leakage

radiation microscopy, being developed within this project.The experimental results will be accomplished by theoretical modelling based on the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method and the discrete dipole approche (DDA) implementing the Green's functions for ligh-SPP and SPP-SPP scattering. As a result of this project we intend to demonstrate a prototype of an ultrafast plasmonic switch.
