Coherent control in hybrid metal-semiconductor nanostructuresMatthias Reichelt and •Torsten Meier — Department Physik, Fakultät für Naturwissenschaften, Universität Paderborn, Warburger Str. 100, D-33098 Paderborn, Germany

Recently it has been shown experimentally that it is possible to coherently control nano-optical excitations by using sophisticated shaped laser pulses. [1] In this work a similar technique is used to theoretically investigate a hybrid nanostructure which consists of a metal aperture and a quantum wire. It is shown that one can concentrate the optically excited electron density at an arbitray position due to wave packet dynamics [2] by chosing particular frequency components and phases of the chirped laser pulse. The optimization process is performed with a genetic algorithm [3] which is linked to a 3D-FDTD solver.
