The most general investigation and exploitation of light-induced processes require simultaneous control over spatial and temporal properties of the electro-magnetic field on a femtosecond time- and nanometer length-scale. Based on the combination of polarization pulse shaping and time-resolved two-photon photoemission electron microscopy we demonstrate such control over nanoscale spatial and ultrafast temporal degrees of freedom of an electromagnetic excitation in the vicinity of a nanostructure. The present status of nanooptical control is reviewed, different control mechanisms are demonstrated, and the prospects of open-loop control of particular nanophotonic excitations are discussed. The flexible simultaneous control of temporal and spatial properties of nanophotonic excitations opens new possibilities to tailor and optimize the light-mater interaction in spectroscopic methods as well as in nanophotonic applications.
