Direct observation of structural heterogeneity and tautomerization of single hypericin molecules

Quan Liu, Frank Wackenhut, Liangxuan Wang +6

Tautomerization is a fast chemical reaction where structures of the reactants differ only in the position of a proton and a double bond. Tautomerization often occurs in natural sub…

Periodic Fluorescence Variations of CdSe Quantum Dots Coupled to Aryleneethynylenes with Aggregation Induced Emission

Krishan Kumar, Jonas Hiller, Markus Bender +7

CdSe nanocrystals and aggregates of an aryleneethynylene derivative are assembled into a hybrid thin film with dual fluorescence from both fluorophores. Under continuous excitation…

Multimode Vibrational Strong Coupling of Methyl Salicylate to a Fabry-Perot Microcavity

Wassie Mersha Takele, Frank Wackenhut, Lukasz Piatkowski +2

The strong coupling of an IR-active molecular transition with an optical mode of the cavity results in vibrational polaritons, which opens a new way to control chemical reactivity…

Direct phase mapping of the light scattered by single plasmonic nanoparticles

Otto Hauler, Frank Wackenhut, Lukas A. Jakob +5

In this work, we present a novel technique to directly measure the phase shift of the optical signal scattered by single plasmonic nanoparticles in a diffraction-limited laser focu…

Tunable strong coupling of two adjacent optical λ/2 Fabry-Pérot microresonators

Achim Junginger, Frank Wackenhut, Alexander Stuhl +3

Optical half-wave microresonators enable to control the optical mode density around a quantum system and thus to modify the temporal emission properties. If the coupling rate excee…

Two and three photon excited luminescence of single gold nanoparticles: Switching between plasmon- and electron-hole-pair emission by ultrashort laser pulses

Frank Wackenhut, Xiao Wang, Antonio Virgilio Failla +1

In this work we use femtosecond laser pulses of 800 nm wavelength to excite and characterize the multiphoton luminescence emission of single gold nanoparticles. For excitation with…
