Time-Domain Spectroscopy Group

The Time-Domain Spectroscopy group in the Department of Terahertz and Laser Spectroscopy has a long track record in instrumentation development and has in recent years pioneered terahertz time-domain set-ups demonstrating world-wide unique sensitivity levels. It is currently working on developing compact laser-based spectroscopy techniques based on short-pulse lasers for future applications in e. g. robotic missions to extraterrestrial objects in our solar system. Scientific applications range from planetary research to nonlinear spectroscopy of novel quantum materials with applications in space instruments (e. g. topological insulators or Graphene). The group is furthermore contributing its expertise in laser spectroscopy, optic design, detector development and qualification of spectroscopy components to different cross-sectoral projects within the department and the institute.
