Shaping of Femtosecond Laser Pulses for Plasmonics — •Moritz Heindl, Jonas Albert, and Markus Lippitz — Experimental Physics III, University of Bayreuth, Germany

Ultrashort and well defined laser pulses are used in a wide range of nonlinear optics experiments. In combination with plasmonic nanostructures, they allow to define the optical nearfield in time and space. The temporal degree of freedom is controlled by a pulse shaper using a spatial light modulator. It gives us control over the phase and amplitude in frequency space and thus the form of the pulse. Here we will present the design of our pulse shaper and experiments to check the functionality of the setup. Furthermore, we give an outlook on future experiments making use of spatial and temporal control of optical fields.
