Prof. Andreas Ostendorf

The research activities of Prof. Ostendorf are based on micro- and nanosystems and structures. Using ultrafast lasers opens the window for generating structures beyond the diffraction limit. Also, micro- and nanoparticles are investigated with respect to their optical properties (e.g. scattering, resonances, manipulation by optical tweezers). Exploring the resonances in microparticles can lead to completly new types of sensors. Finally, nanoparticles are generated by laser ablation and their material properties are investigated.
