Our group aims at investigating processes inside atoms and molecules on the shortest timescale reached so far, the attosecond timescale. One attosecond is E-18 seconds and compares to one second like one second to the age of the universe. New insight into ever smaller microscopic units of matter as well as in ever faster evolving chemical, physical or atomic processes pushes the frontiers in many fields in science. The interest in these ultrashort processes is the driving force behind the development of sources and measurement techniques that allow time-resolved studies at ever shorter timescales.

Abstract: Fabry-Pérot microscopy (FPM) is a label-free imaging technique that combines a microfluidic optical cavity with a tunable light source to enhance contrast and enable quantitative phase imaging. It…
Angewandte Chemie - International Edition
Abstract: Plasmonic nanoparticles efficiently absorb light across a broad spectral range, enabling energy transfer to adjacent molecules or semiconductors for photocatalytic applications. However, the nature…
Applied Surface Science
Abstract: The interplay between molecular and structural chirality as a function of local sample morphology determines the nonlinear optical properties of many organic and hybrid organic–inorganic thin films.…

Abstract: This study presents the development of a green enhancement cavity designed specifically as an interaction laser for an inverse Compton X-ray Source for generating high-energy, partially-coherent…
Optics Express
Abstract: Light sources based on high-harmonic generation (HHG) underpin ultrafast spectroscopy experiments across a large range of photon energies, spanning from the extreme ultraviolet to the soft x-ray. To…
Frontiers in Ultrafast Optics
Abstract: The Munich Compact Light Source (MuCLS) is part of a new class of X-ray sources based on inverse Compton scattering. A compact laboratory-scale electron storage ring stores electrons with energies…
Physical Review A
Abstract: Time delays in photoemission are on the order of attoseconds and have been experimentally determined in atoms, molecules, and solids. Their magnitude and energy dependence are expected to yield…
Abstract: Zwischen Anspruch und Wirklichkeit der Energiewende klafft eine technische Lücke. Zwar bilden erneuerbare Energien das Rückgrat der Transformation, doch sie allein reichen nicht aus. Ohne ergänzende,…
