Dr Johannes Kiefer, School of Engineering, University of Aberdeen
The talk aims at giving an overview of the research activities in which we apply nonlinear optical methods to investigate structures and dynamics at the molecular level.
The first part of the talk will give an introduction to light-matter interactions with a focus on nonlinear phenomena and their analogy regarding the mechanics of materials. Different approaches for gaining structural and dynamic information in the frequency and time domain will be discussed.
The second part of the talk will focus on engineering and scientific applications of nonlinear optical techniques. This includes, for instance, remote thermometry in combustion environments, the measurement of physicochemical properties in complicated solutions, and the investigation of ultrafast vibrational dynamics in room-temperature ionic liquids.
