Advanced Spectroscopy

Advanced spectroscopy in general is a unique tool for unraveling novel quantum and nonlinear optical phenomena and to study the fundamental electronic properties of existing and artificial materials.
Ultrafast and highly spatially resolved spectroscopy is established in several institutes. Here the spectroscopic techniques are essential for pushing the limits of research objectives in the field of materials and devices. Moreover, advanced spectroscopy is also indispensable as a tool for studying the basic phenomena and strategies for the optimization of widely used technical processes.
A particularly prominent example is the research on combustion phenomena. Using different spectroscopic and imaging techniques optical instrumentation is essential in the development of energy efficient processes. Often a novel spectroscopic technique is the method of choice in a sensor system which in turn is part of a bigger optical system (see research area IV).
