TRR 142 - Quasi-bound states in the continuum for efficient second harmonic generation and spatial phase tailoring in GaAs metasurfaces (B09*)
In this project, we aim at exploiting highly efficient quasi-bound states in the continuum for optical modes in GaAs nanoresonators. The strong field confinement of these modes will be utilized to tailor the phase and emission patterns of light generated by nonlinear optical processes and to increase the efficiency of light-matter interaction in ...

TRR 142 - Nonlinear optical surfaces based on ZnO-plasmonic hybrid-nanostructures (C05)
The project targets the efficient manipulation of light beams with simultaneous frequency conversion at an ultrathin metal-zinc oxide metasurface. We plan to manipulate the amplitude and phase of the nonlinear waves based on the structural design and material composition on a nanoscale by utilizing a nonlinear Pancharatnam-Berry phase. By coupling ...

TRR 142 - Plasmonic nano-antenna enhanced nonlinear light emission and frequency conversion in dielectric and semiconductor micro-structures (A05)
The project deals with the enhancement of the weak light-matter interaction for nonlinear optical processes. Resonant excitation of coherent electron oscillations in metallic nanostructures can lead to strong field enhancements due to an antenna effect for the photons. With a suitable spatial arrangement of such antennas, even a kind of phase ...
