The lab confines light in nanoscale spaces to observe how molecules react.
AboutAbout the lab
Where light meets matter in the nanoworld
The Analytical Chemistry Lab studies how light and matter interact in tiny spaces on the scale of nanometers.
The lab fabricates metals and layered semiconductors with a precision of a few nanometers to create nanostructures that trap light.
It observes what happens there using time-resolved spectroscopy with femtosecond lasers.
From the interaction of light and matter, the lab aims to create new chemical measurement methods and chemical reactions controlled by light.
Key terms
- Plasmon
- A phenomenon in which electrons in a metal oscillate collectively in response to light. It makes it possible to confine light in nanoscale spaces
- Femtosecond
- One quadrillionth of a second. A guide to the speed at which bonds form and break inside molecules

ResearchResearch themes
The lab works on changing the electronic and vibrational states of molecules in the intense optical fields generated in nanoscale spaces. It aims to uncover the elementary processes of chemical reactions promoted by nanostructures through time-resolved spectroscopic measurements with femtosecond lasers.
