STRONG LIGHT-MATTER COUPLING The scientific interests, goals and area of expertise of the Shegai group can be briefly summarized as nanoscale light-matter interactions. Our aim is to investigate fundamental and quantum optical aspects of light matter-interactions, as well as to develop practical applications in e.g. surface-enhanced spectroscopies and sensing. The benchmark of the group is experimental facilities and experience that allows us to perform experiments on a single nanoparticle – single molecule level. Our recent activities include plasmon-exciton interactions, strong coupling phenomena, non-linear and low temperature single particle imaging and spectroscopy, surface-enhanced Raman scattering and fluorescence microscopy.
