Hamburg Photon Science Colloquium | The alchemy of vacuum - hybridizing light and matter -

by Thomas W. Ebbesen (University of Strasbourg, France)

Friday 2 Dec 2016, 14:00 → 15:00 Europe/Berlin

CFEL, Bldg. 99 (DESY Hamburg)

Strong coupling of light and matter can give rise to a multitude of exciting physical effects through the formation of delocalized hybrid light-matter states. After introducing the fundamental concepts, examples of modified properties under strong coupling, such as enhanced charge transport in organic semiconductors and non-radiative energy transfer, will be given to illustrate the broad potential of light-matter states.
