Huber group


Welcome to the Huber group at the University of Regensburg!

Many of the fundamental laws and unexpected phenomena in condensed matter physics are caused by extremely fast dynamics of electrons and ions on the femtosecond time (1 fs = 10-15 s) and terahertz frequency scale (1 THz = 1012 Hz). Unravelling such ultrafast processes is the main interest of our research. We develop next-generation, high-intensity femtosecond laser sources and THz technology, and employ them to explore novel femtophysics.

Quantifying nanoscale near fields

We can now quantify the electric field distribution in the vicinity of an oscillating tip of a near-field microscope, which is a crucial prerequisite for performing quantitative nano-tomography and for expanding the limits of the lateral resolution.

The results are reported in ACS Photonics.... more
