Optimally Shaped Laser Pulses for Hybrid Metal-Semiconductor Nanostructures — •Matthias Reichelt1, Torsten Meier1, Andrea Walther2, and Michael Dellnitz2 — 1Department Physik, Universität Paderborn, Warburger Str. 100, D-33098 Paderborn, Germany — 2Institut für Mathematik, Universität Paderborn, Warburger Str. 100, D-33098 Paderborn, Germany
A hybrid nanostructure which consists of a metal aperture and a
semiconductor quantum wire is studied theoretically. [1] It is shown
that one can concentrate the optically excited electron density at an
arbitray position for a given time using sophistically shaped laser
pulses. To obtain the optimized laser field a genetic algorithm [2]
and a more rigorous mathematical approach [3] are applied. Full
three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain calculations [4]
confirm the predicted spatiotemporal control.
