Optica Optics and Photonics News A Metalens for the Extreme Ultraviolet (2023)
Extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation is at the heart of semiconductor lithography, modern material science, and attosecond metrology but a severe lack of optics halts progress. In this publication, as a Team from Harvard University and Graz University of Technology, we experimentally demonstrate metasurfaces as a superior way to handle EUV light. We achieve this by introducing a new nanoscopic phase-shifting technique - vacuum guiding - which exploits that holes in a membrane can have a considerably larger EUV refractive index than the surrounding material. We fabricated an EUV metalens and proved it focuses ultrashort light bursts generated via high-harmonic generation to a waist of only 700 nm. The work multiplies the current high-frequency limit of metasurfaces and, as the devices are phase-based, constitutes the first universal optics technology in the EUV.
Metasurface-Stabilized Optical Microcavities

Nature Communications 14, 1114 (9pp), 27.02.2023
In this publication, we introduce microcavities generating holographic modes. By combining dielectric metasurfaces and distributed Bragg reflectors, we harness the design freedom of metasurfaces and the high reflectivity of Bragg reflectors. Therefore, we demonstrated metasurfaces as a highly effective way to concentrate light, i.e., to provide small mode volumes, high quality factors, and Purcell control. Contrary to classic cavity designs, our metasurface microcavities can stabilize designer modes and such, e.g., couple multiple quantum emitters or improve the efficiency of semiconductor lasers.

yahoo! Do your electronic gadgets have a speed limit? (2022)
This publication highlights today's x-ray attosecond science as a powerful tool for exploring future materials for communication and computation. We developed a technique to inject carriers in the conduction band of lithium fluoride using a 1 fs vacuum-ultraviolet light pulse and to coherently steer them via the electric field of a laser pulse. Albeit working with isolators, we could drive currents with a speed close to one petahertz. The method allows following excited electrons through the band structure and observing intra- and non-adiabatic interband transitions. As the technique records real currents, it connects microscopic effects to macroscopic signatures and directly measures optoelectronic material properties. Work was done at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics and TU Wien.

Materials Today New silicon coating uses nanopillars to trap red light (2021)
The dispersion of transparent materials has aggravated using transmissive optics in ultrafast laser science for decades. This Harvard University/Graz University of Technology collaboration introduces nanostructured coatings that imprint negative group delay dispersion in the visible and near-infrared spectrum upon transmission. We experimentally demonstrated this in the spectral domain and proved the coatings compress elongated pulses in the time domain. As such, when applied to any ordinary transmissive optics, the coatings cancel their dispersion and prevent temporal pulse broadening, allowing their straightforward application to ultrashort laser pulses down to the few-cycle regime.

Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung Ein Milliardstel einer Milliardstel Sekunde (2018)
In a collaboration between the MPI of Quantum Optics, the Technical University of Munich, and the TU Wien, we developed a technique that enables recording the absolute timing of photoelectrons escaping from surfaces. This is equivalent to the phase of the photoelectrons and reveals, e.g., where they were born and how they move through a crystal. We showed that electrons can be freed from solids unexpectedly fast and demonstrated for the first time how to examine photoemission from adsorbates in the time domain. Material science can now gain previously unattainable information about the electron dynamics in designed surface-adsorbate-systems, employed, e.g., in organic solar cells and catalysis.

Optica Optics and Photonics News Tracking Photoelectrons with Sub-Attosecond Precision (2016)
In a collaboration between the MPI of Quantum Optics, the University of Munich, the Technical University of Munich, and the TU Wien, we recorded the time delay between the absorption of a photon by a helium atom and the ejection of an electron for the first time. This allowed us to present four major results: 1) We created the first absolute time reference for attosecond spectroscopy. 2) We demonstrated how to retrieve the duration of fundamental processes with unprecedented sub-attosecond precision and accuracy. 3) The attained precision enabled breaking down the recorded times into universal and measurement-induced contributions and benchmarking theoretical models for these. 4) We demonstrated a contribution purely arising from the interaction of two electrons. This is the first realization of one of the promises of attosecond science: following the interaction of electrons on their natural timescale.
