Abstract
Nanotechnology is increasingly being applied in many emerging technologies, ranging from metamaterials to next-generation nanodrugs. A key ingredient for its success is the ability to specifically tailor ultrafast nanoscale light–matter interactions over very large areas. Unfortunately, dynamic imaging by ultrafast nanoscopy so far remains limited to very small 2D areas. This shortcoming prevents connecting single-particle observations with large-scale functionality. Here, we address this experimental challenge by combining concepts of ultrafast spectroscopy, wide-field nanoscopy, and digital holography. We introduce an ultrafast holographic transient microscope for wide-field transient nanoscale imaging with high frequency all-optical signal demodulation. We simultaneously record ultrafast transient dynamics of many individual nano-objects and demonstrate time-resolved spectroscopy of gold nanoparticles over a large volume irrespective of their x–y–z position. Our results pave the way to single-shot 3D microscopy of 2D and 3D materials on arbitrary time scales from femtosecond carrier dynamics in optoelectronic materials to millisecond dynamics in complex tissues.

(American Chemical Society)The authors present a novel optical transient absorption and reflection microscope based on a diffraction-limited pump pulse in combination with a wide-field probe pulse, for the spatiotemporal study of ultrafast population transport in thin films. The microscope achieves a temporal resoln. down to 12 fs and simultaneously provides sub-10 nm spatial accuracy. The authors demonstrate the capabilities of the microscope by revealing an ultrafast excited-state exciton population transport of up to 32 nm in a thin film of pentacene and by tracking the carrier motion in p-doped Si. The use of few-cycle optical excitation pulses enables impulsive stimulated Raman microspectroscopy, which was used for in situ verification of the chem. identity in the 100-2000 cm-1 spectral window. The authors' methodol. bridges the gap between optical microscopy and spectroscopy, allowing for the study of ultrafast transport properties down to the nanometer length scale.

NLO signals are intrinsically sensitive to the electronic, vibrational, and structural properties of such nanostructures. Ultrafast excitation allows for mapping of energy relaxation pathways at the single-particle level. The strong nonlinear response of nanostructures makes them highly attractive for applications as novel NLO imaging agents in biol. and biomedical research. NLO modalities based on harmonic generation, multiphoton photoluminescence, four-wave mixing, and pump-probe processes are discussed in detail.

(American Institute of Physics)The authors describe a setup for time-resolved photoemission electron microscopy with aberration correction enabling 3 nm spatial resoln. and sub-20 fs temporal resoln. The latter is realized by development of a widely tunable (215-970 nm) noncollinear optical parametric amplifier (NOPA) at 1 MHz repetition rate. Several exemplary applications are discussed. Efficient photoemission from plasmonic Au nanoresonators is studied with phase-coherent pulse pairs from an actively stabilized interferometer. More complex excitation fields are created with a liq.-crystal-based pulse shaper enabling amplitude and phase shaping of NOPA pulses with spectral components from 600 to 800 nm. With this system the authors demonstrate spectroscopy within a single plasmonic nanoslit resonator by spectral amplitude shaping and study the local field dynamics with coherent 2-dimensional (2D) spectroscopy at the nanometer length scale (2-dimensional nanoscopy). The local response varies across a distance ≥33 nm in sample. Further, the authors report 2-color pump-probe expts. using 2 independent NOPA beamlines. The authors ext. local variations of the excited-state dynamics of a monolayered 2-dimensional material (WSe2) that the authors correlate with low-energy electron microscopy (LEEM) and reflectivity measurements. Finally, the authors demonstrate the in situ sample prepn. capabilities for org. thin films and their characterization via spatially resolved electron diffraction and dark-field LEEM.

(Optical Society of America)Femtosecond spectroscopy is an important tool used for tracking rapid photoinduced processes in a variety of materials. To spatially map the processes in a sample would substantially expand the method's capabilities. This is, however, difficult to achieve, due to the necessity of using low-noise detection and maintaining feasible data acquisition time. Here, we demonstrate realization of an imaging pump-probe setup, featuring sub-100 fs temporal resoln., by using a straightforward modification of a std. pump-probe technique, which uses a randomly structured probe beam. The structured beam, made by a diffuser, enabled us to computationally reconstruct the maps of transient absorption dynamics based on the concept of compressed sensing. We demonstrate the setup's functionality in two proof-of-principle expts., where we achieve spatial resoln. of 20μm. The presented concept provides a feasible route to imaging, by using the pump-probe technique and ultrafast spectroscopy in general.

(Nature Research)Single-mol. spectroscopy aims to unveil often hidden but potentially very important contributions of single entities to a system's ensemble response. Albeit contributing tremendously to our ever growing understanding of mol. processes, the fundamental question of temporal evolution, or change, has thus far been inaccessible, thus painting a static picture of a dynamic world. Here, we finally resolve this dilemma by performing ultrafast time-resolved transient spectroscopy on a single mol. By tracing the femtosecond evolution of excited electronic state spectra of single mols. over hundreds of nanometers of bandwidth at room temp., we reveal their nonlinear ultrafast response in an effective three-pulse scheme with fluorescence detection. A first excitation pulse is followed by a phase-locked de-excitation pulse pair, providing spectral encoding with 25 fs temporal resoln. This exptl. realization of true single-mol. transient spectroscopy demonstrates that two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy of single mols. is exptl. within reach. Frequency-resolved transient excited-state absorption of a single mol. is measured at room temp. The dynamic Stokes shift and vibrational cooling are directly measured with 25 fs temporal resoln. and a spectral detection bandwidth of hundreds of meV.

(American Association for the Advancement of Science)The Shockley-Queisser limit for solar cell efficiency can be overcome if hot carriers can be harvested before they thermalize. Recently, carrier cooling time up to 100 ps was obsd. in hybrid perovskites, but it is unclear whether these long-lived hot carriers can migrate long distance for efficient collection. The authors report direct visualization of hot-carrier migration in methylammonium lead iodide (CH3NH3PbI3) thin films by ultrafast transient absorption microscopy, demonstrating three distinct transport regimes. Quasiballistic transport was obsd. to correlate with excess kinetic energy, resulting in up to 230 nm transport distance that could overcome grain boundaries. The nonequil. transport persisted over tens of picoseconds and ∼600 nm before reaching the diffusive transport limit. These results suggest potential applications of hot-carrier devices based on hybrid perovskites.

(Nature Research)The ability of energy carriers to move between atoms and mols. underlies biochem. and material function. Understanding and controlling energy flow, however, requires observing it on ultrasmall and ultrafast spatio-temporal scales, where energetic and structural roadblocks dictate the fate of energy carriers. Here, we developed a non-invasive optical scheme that leverages non-resonant interferometric scattering to track tiny changes in material polarizability created by energy carriers. We thus map evolving energy carrier distributions in four dimensions of spacetime with few-nanometer lateral precision and directly correlate them with material morphol. We visualize exciton, charge and heat transport in polyacene, silicon and perovskite semiconductors and elucidate how disorder affects energy flow in three dimensions. For example, we show that morphol. boundaries in polycryst. metal halide perovskites possess lateral- and depth-dependent resistivities, blocking lateral transport for surface but not bulk carriers. We also reveal strategies for interpreting energy transport in disordered environments that will direct the design of defect-tolerant materials for the semiconductor industry of tomorrow.

(Nature Publishing Group)Photon emitters placed in an optical cavity experience an environment that changes how they are coupled to the surrounding light field. In the weak-coupling regime, the extn. of light from the emitter is enhanced. But more profound effects emerge when single-emitter strong coupling occurs: mixed states are produced that are part light, part matter, forming building blocks for quantum information systems and for ultralow-power switches and lasers. Such cavity quantum electrodynamics has until now been the preserve of low temps. and complicated fabrication methods, compromising its use. Here, by scaling the cavity vol. to less than 40 cubic nanometers and using host-guest chem. to align one to ten protectively isolated methylene-blue mols., we reach the strong-coupling regime at room temp. and in ambient conditions. Dispersion curves from more than 50 such plasmonic nanocavities display characteristic light-matter mixing, with Rabi frequencies of 300 millielectronvolts for ten methylene-blue mols., decreasing to 90 millielectronvolts for single mols.-matching quant. models. Statistical anal. of vibrational spectroscopy time series and dark-field scattering spectra provides evidence of single-mol. strong coupling. This dressing of mols. with light can modify photochem., opening up the exploration of complex natural processes such as photosynthesis and the possibility of manipulating chem. bonds.

(Annual Reviews)A review. We review recent advances in the characterization of electronic forms of energy transport in emerging semiconductors. The approaches described all temporally and spatially resolve the evolution of initially localized populations of photogenerated excitons or charge carriers. We first provide a comprehensive background for describing the phys. origin and nature of electronic energy transport both microscopically and from the perspective of the observer. We introduce the new family of far-field, time-resolved optical microscopies developed to directly resolve not only the extent of this transport but also its potentially temporally and spatially dependent rate. We review a representation of examples from the recent literature, including investigation of energy flow in colloidal quantum dot solids, org. semiconductors, org.-inorg. metal halide perovskites, and 2D transition metal dichalcogenides. These examples illustrate how traditional parameters like diffusivity are applicable only within limited spatiotemporal ranges and how the techniques at the core of this review,esp. when taken together, are revealing a more complete picture of the spatiotemporal evolution of energy transport in complex semiconductors, even as a function of their structural heterogeneities.

This technique results from the coupling of digital holographic microscopy and polarization digital holography. The interference between two orthogonally polarized reference waves and the wave transmitted by a microscopic sample, magnified by a microscope objective, is recorded on a CCD camera. The off-axis geometry permits one to reconstruct separately from this single hologram two wavefronts that are used to image the object-wave Jones vector. We applied this technique to image the birefringence of a bent fiber. To evaluate the precision of the phase-difference measurement, the birefringence induced by internal stress in an optical fiber is measured and compared to the birefringence profile captured by a standard method, which had been developed to obtain high-resolution birefringence profiles of optical fibers.

The multiplexed hologram contains straight off-axis fringes with six different orientations, and can be generated optically or digitally. We show that since the six different complex wavefronts do not overlap in the spatial frequency domain, they can be fully reconstructed. 6PH allows more than 50% improvement in the spatial bandwidth consumption when compared to the best multiplexing method proposed so far.

(American Chemical Society)Fmtosecond wide-field transient absorption microscopy combining sub-10 fs pump and probe pulses covering the complete visible (500-650 nm) and near-IR (650-950 nm) spectrum with diffraction-limited optical resoln. is introduced. The capabilities of the system were demonstrated by reporting the spatially- and spectrally-resolved transient electronic response of MAPbI3-xClx perovskite films and reveal significant quenching of the transient bleach signal at grain boundaries. The unprecedented temporal resoln. enables one to directly observe the formation of band-gap renormalization, completed in 25 fs after photoexcitation. The authors acquire hyperspectral Raman maps of TIPS pentacene films with sub-400 nm spatial and sub-15 cm-1 spectral resoln. covering the 100-2000 cm-1 window. The approach opens up the possibility of studying ultrafast dynamics on nanometer length and femtosecond time scales in a variety of 2-dimensional and nanoscopic systems.

(Optical Society of America)Phase imaging with a high-resoln. wavefront sensor is considered. This is based on a quadriwave lateral shearing interferometer mounted on a non-modified transmission white-light microscope. The measurement technol. is explained both in the scope of wave optics and geometrical optics in order to discuss its implementation on a conventional microscope. In particular we consider the effect of a non spatially coherent source on the phase-image signal-to-noise ratio. Precise measurements of the phase-shift introduced by microscopic beads or giant unilamellar vesicles validate the principle and show the accuracy of the methods. Diffraction limited images of living COS-7 cells are then presented, with a particular focus on the membrane and organelle dynamics.

This limitation can be overcome by the use of diffraction orders of a grating. We consider an arrangement in which, on diffraction of a femtosecond pulse by a grating, two beams that correspond to the first-order diffraction maxima are recombined at the image plane by a system of two confocal lenses. In this arrangement the beams overlap over the their full aperture, with the short duration of the pulses being preserved. We demonstrate the use of this setup as a simple autocorrelator and discuss a possible application to time-resolved vibrational spectroscopy.

(Nature Publishing Group)Over the past 25 years, single-mol. spectroscopy has developed into a widely used tool in multiple disciplines of science. The diversity of routinely recorded emission spectra does underpin the strength of the single-mol. approach in resolving the heterogeneity and dynamics, otherwise hidden in the ensemble. In early cryogenic studies single mols. were identified by their distinct excitation spectra, yet measuring excitation spectra at room temp. remains challenging. Here we present a broadband Fourier approach that allows rapid recording of excitation spectra of individual mols. under ambient conditions and that is robust against blinking and bleaching. Applying the method we show that the excitation spectra of individual mols. exhibit an extreme distribution of solvatochromic shifts and distinct spectral shapes. Importantly, we demonstrate that the sensitivity and speed of the broadband technique is comparable to that of emission spectroscopy putting both techniques side-by-side in single-mol. spectroscopy.

(American Chemical Society)The femtosecond optical response of noble metal nanoparticles and its connection to the ultrafast electron dynamics are discussed in light of the results of high-sensitivity femtosecond pump-probe expts. The phys. origins of the nonlinear responses in the vicinity of the surface plasmon resonance and interband transition threshold are analyzed using extension of the theor. models used in the bulk materials. These responses contain information on the electron interaction processes (electron-electron and electron-phonon scattering) that can thus be directly studied in the time domain. Their size and environment dependences are discussed, and the results are compared to the ones in the bulk materials. Time-resolved techniques also permit direct study of the vibrational modes of metal nanoparticles and, in particular, the detn. of their damping, which is a sensitive probe of the nature of the surrounding matrix and of the interface quality.

(American Chemical Society)The wide variety of applications of metal nanoparticles has motivated many studies of their properties. Some important practical issues are how the size, compn. and structure of these materials affect their catalytic and optical properties. The authors review with 84 refs. the authors' recent work on the photophysics of metal nanoparticles. The systems that were studied include Au particles with sizes ranging from 2 nm diam. (several hundred atoms) to 120 nm diam., and bimetallic core-shell particles composed of Au, Ag, Pt and/or Pb. These particles, which have a rather narrow size distribution, were prepd. by radiolytic techniques. By performing time-resolved laser measurements the authors were able to study the coupling between the electrons and phonons in the particles, and their low frequency breathing modes. These expts. show that for Au the time scale for electron-phonon coupling does not depend on size, in contrast to metals such as Ga and Ag. However, the frequency of the acoustic breathing modes strongly depends on the size of the particles, as well as their compn. These modes are impulsively excited by the rapid lattice heating that accompanies ultrafast laser excitation. The subsequent coherent nuclear motion modulates the transmitted probe laser intensity, giving a beat signal in the authors' expts. Unlike quantum-beats in mols. or semiconductors, this signal can be completely understood by classical mechanics.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)A review. Recent years have seen a growing interest in using metal nanostructures to control temp. on the nanoscale. Under illumination at its plasmonic resonance, a metal nanoparticle features enhanced light absorption, turning it into an ideal nano-source of heat, remotely controllable using light. Such a powerful and flexible photothermal scheme is the basis of thermo-plasmonics. Here, the recent progress of this emerging and fast-growing field is reviewed. First, the physics of heat generation in metal nanoparticles is described, under both continuous and pulsed illumination. The second part is dedicated to numerical and exptl. methods that have been developed to further understand and engineer plasmonic-assisted heating processes on the nanoscale. Finally, some of the most recent applications based on the heat generated by gold nanoparticles are surveyed, namely photothermal cancer therapy, nano-surgery, drug delivery, photothermal imaging, protein tracking, photoacoustic imaging, nano-chem. and optofluidics.

(Optical Society of America)Holog. particle image velocimetry allows tracking particle trajectories in time and space by means of holog. However, the drawback of the technique is that in the three-dimensional particle distribution reconstructed from a hologram, the individual particles can hardly be resolved due to the superimposed out-of-focus signal from neighboring particles. We demonstrate here a three-dimensional volumetric deconvolution applied to the reconstructed wavefront which results in resolving all particles simultaneously in three-dimensions. Moreover, we apply the three-dimensional volumetric deconvolution to reconstructions of a time-dependent sequence of holograms of an ensemble of polystyrene spheres moving in water. From each hologram we simultaneously resolve all particles in the ensemble in three dimensions and from the sequence of holograms we obtain the time-resolved trajectories of individual polystyrene spheres.

(Biophysical Society)Tracking individual nano-objects in live cells during arbitrary long times is a ubiquitous need in modern biol. The authors present here a method for tracking individual 5-nm gold nanoparticles on live cells. It relies on the photothermal effect and the detection of the Laser Induced Scattering around a NanoAbsorber (LISNA). The key point for recording trajectories at video rate is the use of a triangulation procedure. The effectiveness of the method is tested against single fluorescent mol. tracking in live COS7 cells on subsecond timescales. The authors further demonstrate recordings for several minutes of AMPA receptors trajectories on the plasma membrane of live neurons. Single Nanoparticle Photothermal Tracking has the unique potential to record arbitrary long trajectory of membrane proteins using nonfluorescent nanometer-sized labels.

(American Institute of Physics)An ultrafast spectroscopy system based on 2 synchronized noncollinear optical parametric amplifiers (NOPAs) is described. Each NOPA can be independently configured to generate ultrabroadband sub-10 fs visible pulses, tunable 15 fs visible pulses (500-720 nm), tunable 15-30 fs near-IR pulses (900-1500 nm), and 15-20 fs blue pulses (430-480 nm). This system enables to perform pump-probe expts. over nearly two octaves of spectrum with unprecedented temporal resoln. The authors present application examples highlighting the capability of this instrument to track excited-state dynamics occurring on the sub-100 fs time scale: electron transfer in polymer-fullerene blends, intersubband energy relaxation in C nanotubes, and internal conversion in carotenoids.

(American Chemical Society)Optical sensing is 1 of the key enablers of modern diagnostics. Esp. label-free imaging modalities hold great promise as they eliminate labeling procedures prior to anal. However, scattering signals of nanometric particles scale with their vol. square. This unfavorable scaling makes it extremely difficult to quant. characterize intrinsically heterogeneous clin. samples, such as extracellular vesicles, as their signal variation easily exceeds the dynamic range of currently available cameras. Here, the authors introduce off-axis k-space holog. that circumvents this limitation. By imaging the back-focal plane of microscope, the authors project the scattering signal of all particles onto all camera pixels, thus dramatically boosting the achievable dynamic range to up to 110 dB. The authors validate platform by detecting and quant. sizing metallic and dielec. particles over a 200 x 200μm field of view and demonstrate that independently performed signal calibrations allow correctly sizing particles made from different materials. Finally, the authors present quant. size distributions of extracellular vesicle samples.

(American Chemical Society)The authors present a novel optical transient absorption and reflection microscope based on a diffraction-limited pump pulse in combination with a wide-field probe pulse, for the spatiotemporal study of ultrafast population transport in thin films. The microscope achieves a temporal resoln. down to 12 fs and simultaneously provides sub-10 nm spatial accuracy. The authors demonstrate the capabilities of the microscope by revealing an ultrafast excited-state exciton population transport of up to 32 nm in a thin film of pentacene and by tracking the carrier motion in p-doped Si. The use of few-cycle optical excitation pulses enables impulsive stimulated Raman microspectroscopy, which was used for in situ verification of the chem. identity in the 100-2000 cm-1 spectral window. The authors' methodol. bridges the gap between optical microscopy and spectroscopy, allowing for the study of ultrafast transport properties down to the nanometer length scale.

(Annual Reviews)We review recent advances in nonlinear optical (NLO) microscopy studies of single nanostructures. NLO signals are intrinsically sensitive to the electronic, vibrational, and structural properties of such nanostructures. Ultrafast excitation allows for mapping of energy relaxation pathways at the single-particle level. The strong nonlinear response of nanostructures makes them highly attractive for applications as novel NLO imaging agents in biol. and biomedical research. NLO modalities based on harmonic generation, multiphoton photoluminescence, four-wave mixing, and pump-probe processes are discussed in detail.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)A review. In recent years there was considerable effort in developing ultra-sensitive imaging techniques based on absorption. This mini-review describes recent results from our lab. on detecting single nano-objects using transient absorption microscopy. This technique is extremely flexible, allowing the detection of single semiconductor and metal nanostructures with high sensitivity. The goal of this review is to illustrate key points in implementing transient absorption microscopy for ultra-sensitive detection, as well as to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this technique compared to other optical absorption based methods.

(American Institute of Physics)The authors describe a setup for time-resolved photoemission electron microscopy with aberration correction enabling 3 nm spatial resoln. and sub-20 fs temporal resoln. The latter is realized by development of a widely tunable (215-970 nm) noncollinear optical parametric amplifier (NOPA) at 1 MHz repetition rate. Several exemplary applications are discussed. Efficient photoemission from plasmonic Au nanoresonators is studied with phase-coherent pulse pairs from an actively stabilized interferometer. More complex excitation fields are created with a liq.-crystal-based pulse shaper enabling amplitude and phase shaping of NOPA pulses with spectral components from 600 to 800 nm. With this system the authors demonstrate spectroscopy within a single plasmonic nanoslit resonator by spectral amplitude shaping and study the local field dynamics with coherent 2-dimensional (2D) spectroscopy at the nanometer length scale (2-dimensional nanoscopy). The local response varies across a distance ≥33 nm in sample. Further, the authors report 2-color pump-probe expts. using 2 independent NOPA beamlines. The authors ext. local variations of the excited-state dynamics of a monolayered 2-dimensional material (WSe2) that the authors correlate with low-energy electron microscopy (LEEM) and reflectivity measurements. Finally, the authors demonstrate the in situ sample prepn. capabilities for org. thin films and their characterization via spatially resolved electron diffraction and dark-field LEEM.

(Optical Society of America)Femtosecond spectroscopy is an important tool used for tracking rapid photoinduced processes in a variety of materials. To spatially map the processes in a sample would substantially expand the method's capabilities. This is, however, difficult to achieve, due to the necessity of using low-noise detection and maintaining feasible data acquisition time. Here, we demonstrate realization of an imaging pump-probe setup, featuring sub-100 fs temporal resoln., by using a straightforward modification of a std. pump-probe technique, which uses a randomly structured probe beam. The structured beam, made by a diffuser, enabled us to computationally reconstruct the maps of transient absorption dynamics based on the concept of compressed sensing. We demonstrate the setup's functionality in two proof-of-principle expts., where we achieve spatial resoln. of 20μm. The presented concept provides a feasible route to imaging, by using the pump-probe technique and ultrafast spectroscopy in general.

(Nature Research)Single-mol. spectroscopy aims to unveil often hidden but potentially very important contributions of single entities to a system's ensemble response. Albeit contributing tremendously to our ever growing understanding of mol. processes, the fundamental question of temporal evolution, or change, has thus far been inaccessible, thus painting a static picture of a dynamic world. Here, we finally resolve this dilemma by performing ultrafast time-resolved transient spectroscopy on a single mol. By tracing the femtosecond evolution of excited electronic state spectra of single mols. over hundreds of nanometers of bandwidth at room temp., we reveal their nonlinear ultrafast response in an effective three-pulse scheme with fluorescence detection. A first excitation pulse is followed by a phase-locked de-excitation pulse pair, providing spectral encoding with 25 fs temporal resoln. This exptl. realization of true single-mol. transient spectroscopy demonstrates that two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy of single mols. is exptl. within reach. Frequency-resolved transient excited-state absorption of a single mol. is measured at room temp. The dynamic Stokes shift and vibrational cooling are directly measured with 25 fs temporal resoln. and a spectral detection bandwidth of hundreds of meV.

(American Association for the Advancement of Science)The Shockley-Queisser limit for solar cell efficiency can be overcome if hot carriers can be harvested before they thermalize. Recently, carrier cooling time up to 100 ps was obsd. in hybrid perovskites, but it is unclear whether these long-lived hot carriers can migrate long distance for efficient collection. The authors report direct visualization of hot-carrier migration in methylammonium lead iodide (CH3NH3PbI3) thin films by ultrafast transient absorption microscopy, demonstrating three distinct transport regimes. Quasiballistic transport was obsd. to correlate with excess kinetic energy, resulting in up to 230 nm transport distance that could overcome grain boundaries. The nonequil. transport persisted over tens of picoseconds and ∼600 nm before reaching the diffusive transport limit. These results suggest potential applications of hot-carrier devices based on hybrid perovskites.

(Nature Research)The ability of energy carriers to move between atoms and mols. underlies biochem. and material function. Understanding and controlling energy flow, however, requires observing it on ultrasmall and ultrafast spatio-temporal scales, where energetic and structural roadblocks dictate the fate of energy carriers. Here, we developed a non-invasive optical scheme that leverages non-resonant interferometric scattering to track tiny changes in material polarizability created by energy carriers. We thus map evolving energy carrier distributions in four dimensions of spacetime with few-nanometer lateral precision and directly correlate them with material morphol. We visualize exciton, charge and heat transport in polyacene, silicon and perovskite semiconductors and elucidate how disorder affects energy flow in three dimensions. For example, we show that morphol. boundaries in polycryst. metal halide perovskites possess lateral- and depth-dependent resistivities, blocking lateral transport for surface but not bulk carriers. We also reveal strategies for interpreting energy transport in disordered environments that will direct the design of defect-tolerant materials for the semiconductor industry of tomorrow.

(Nature Publishing Group)Photon emitters placed in an optical cavity experience an environment that changes how they are coupled to the surrounding light field. In the weak-coupling regime, the extn. of light from the emitter is enhanced. But more profound effects emerge when single-emitter strong coupling occurs: mixed states are produced that are part light, part matter, forming building blocks for quantum information systems and for ultralow-power switches and lasers. Such cavity quantum electrodynamics has until now been the preserve of low temps. and complicated fabrication methods, compromising its use. Here, by scaling the cavity vol. to less than 40 cubic nanometers and using host-guest chem. to align one to ten protectively isolated methylene-blue mols., we reach the strong-coupling regime at room temp. and in ambient conditions. Dispersion curves from more than 50 such plasmonic nanocavities display characteristic light-matter mixing, with Rabi frequencies of 300 millielectronvolts for ten methylene-blue mols., decreasing to 90 millielectronvolts for single mols.-matching quant. models. Statistical anal. of vibrational spectroscopy time series and dark-field scattering spectra provides evidence of single-mol. strong coupling. This dressing of mols. with light can modify photochem., opening up the exploration of complex natural processes such as photosynthesis and the possibility of manipulating chem. bonds.

(Annual Reviews)A review. We review recent advances in the characterization of electronic forms of energy transport in emerging semiconductors. The approaches described all temporally and spatially resolve the evolution of initially localized populations of photogenerated excitons or charge carriers. We first provide a comprehensive background for describing the phys. origin and nature of electronic energy transport both microscopically and from the perspective of the observer. We introduce the new family of far-field, time-resolved optical microscopies developed to directly resolve not only the extent of this transport but also its potentially temporally and spatially dependent rate. We review a representation of examples from the recent literature, including investigation of energy flow in colloidal quantum dot solids, org. semiconductors, org.-inorg. metal halide perovskites, and 2D transition metal dichalcogenides. These examples illustrate how traditional parameters like diffusivity are applicable only within limited spatiotemporal ranges and how the techniques at the core of this review,esp. when taken together, are revealing a more complete picture of the spatiotemporal evolution of energy transport in complex semiconductors, even as a function of their structural heterogeneities.

This technique results from the coupling of digital holographic microscopy and polarization digital holography. The interference between two orthogonally polarized reference waves and the wave transmitted by a microscopic sample, magnified by a microscope objective, is recorded on a CCD camera. The off-axis geometry permits one to reconstruct separately from this single hologram two wavefronts that are used to image the object-wave Jones vector. We applied this technique to image the birefringence of a bent fiber. To evaluate the precision of the phase-difference measurement, the birefringence induced by internal stress in an optical fiber is measured and compared to the birefringence profile captured by a standard method, which had been developed to obtain high-resolution birefringence profiles of optical fibers.

The multiplexed hologram contains straight off-axis fringes with six different orientations, and can be generated optically or digitally. We show that since the six different complex wavefronts do not overlap in the spatial frequency domain, they can be fully reconstructed. 6PH allows more than 50% improvement in the spatial bandwidth consumption when compared to the best multiplexing method proposed so far. We expect the 6PH concept to be useful for a variety of applications, such as field-of-view multiplexing, wavelength multiplexing, temporal multiplexing, multiplexing for super-resolution imaging, and others.

(American Chemical Society)Fmtosecond wide-field transient absorption microscopy combining sub-10 fs pump and probe pulses covering the complete visible (500-650 nm) and near-IR (650-950 nm) spectrum with diffraction-limited optical resoln. is introduced. The capabilities of the system were demonstrated by reporting the spatially- and spectrally-resolved transient electronic response of MAPbI3-xClx perovskite films and reveal significant quenching of the transient bleach signal at grain boundaries. The unprecedented temporal resoln. enables one to directly observe the formation of band-gap renormalization, completed in 25 fs after photoexcitation. The authors acquire hyperspectral Raman maps of TIPS pentacene films with sub-400 nm spatial and sub-15 cm-1 spectral resoln. covering the 100-2000 cm-1 window.

This limitation can be overcome by the use of diffraction orders of a grating. We consider an arrangement in which, on diffraction of a femtosecond pulse by a grating, two beams that correspond to the first-order diffraction maxima are recombined at the image plane by a system of two confocal lenses. In this arrangement the beams overlap over the their full aperture, with the short duration of the pulses being preserved. We demonstrate the use of this setup as a simple autocorrelator and discuss a possible application to time-resolved vibrational spectroscopy.

(Nature Publishing Group)Over the past 25 years, single-mol. spectroscopy has developed into a widely used tool in multiple disciplines of science. The diversity of routinely recorded emission spectra does underpin the strength of the single-mol. approach in resolving the heterogeneity and dynamics, otherwise hidden in the ensemble. In early cryogenic studies single mols. were identified by their distinct excitation spectra, yet measuring excitation spectra at room temp. remains challenging. Here we present a broadband Fourier approach that allows rapid recording of excitation spectra of individual mols. under ambient conditions and that is robust against blinking and bleaching. Applying the method we show that the excitation spectra of individual mols. exhibit an extreme distribution of solvatochromic shifts and distinct spectral shapes. Importantly, we demonstrate that the sensitivity and speed of the broadband technique is comparable to that of emission spectroscopy putting both techniques side-by-side in single-mol. spectroscopy.

(American Chemical Society)The femtosecond optical response of noble metal nanoparticles and its connection to the ultrafast electron dynamics are discussed in light of the results of high-sensitivity femtosecond pump-probe expts. The phys. origins of the nonlinear responses in the vicinity of the surface plasmon resonance and interband transition threshold are analyzed using extension of the theor. models used in the bulk materials. These responses contain information on the electron interaction processes (electron-electron and electron-phonon scattering) that can thus be directly studied in the time domain. Their size and environment dependences are discussed, and the results are compared to the ones in the bulk materials. Time-resolved techniques also permit direct study of the vibrational modes of metal nanoparticles and, in particular, the detn. of their damping, which is a sensitive probe of the nature of the surrounding matrix and of the interface quality.

(American Chemical Society)The wide variety of applications of metal nanoparticles has motivated many studies of their properties. Some important practical issues are how the size, compn. and structure of these materials affect their catalytic and optical properties. The authors review with 84 refs. the authors' recent work on the photophysics of metal nanoparticles. The systems that were studied include Au particles with sizes ranging from 2 nm diam. (several hundred atoms) to 120 nm diam., and bimetallic core-shell particles composed of Au, Ag, Pt and/or Pb. These particles, which have a rather narrow size distribution, were prepd. by radiolytic techniques. By performing time-resolved laser measurements the authors were able to study the coupling between the electrons and phonons in the particles, and their low frequency breathing modes. These expts. show that for Au the time scale for electron-phonon coupling does not depend on size, in contrast to metals such as Ga and Ag. However, the frequency of the acoustic breathing modes strongly depends on the size of the particles, as well as their compn. These modes are impulsively excited by the rapid lattice heating that accompanies ultrafast laser excitation. The subsequent coherent nuclear motion modulates the transmitted probe laser intensity, giving a beat signal in the authors' expts. Unlike quantum-beats in mols. or semiconductors, this signal can be completely understood by classical mechanics.

Noble metal particles have long fascinated scientists because of their intense color, which led to their application in stained glass windows as early as the Middle Ages. The recent resurrection of colloidal and cluster chem. has brought about the strive for new materials that allow a bottoms-up approach of building improved and new devices with nanoparticles or artificial atoms. In this review, the authors discuss some of the properties of individual and some assembled metallic nanoparticles with a focus on their interaction with continuous-wave and pulsed laser light of different energies. The potential application of the plasmon resonance as sensors is discussed.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)A review. Recent years have seen a growing interest in using metal nanostructures to control temp. on the nanoscale. Under illumination at its plasmonic resonance, a metal nanoparticle features enhanced light absorption, turning it into an ideal nano-source of heat, remotely controllable using light. Such a powerful and flexible photothermal scheme is the basis of thermo-plasmonics. Here, the recent progress of this emerging and fast-growing field is reviewed. First, the physics of heat generation in metal nanoparticles is described, under both continuous and pulsed illumination. The second part is dedicated to numerical and exptl. methods that have been developed to further understand and engineer plasmonic-assisted heating processes on the nanoscale. Finally, some of the most recent applications based on the heat generated by gold nanoparticles are surveyed, namely photothermal cancer therapy, nano-surgery, drug delivery, photothermal imaging, protein tracking, photoacoustic imaging, nano-chem. and optofluidics.

(Optical Society of America)Holog. particle image velocimetry allows tracking particle trajectories in time and space by means of holog. However, the drawback of the technique is that in the three-dimensional particle distribution reconstructed from a hologram, the individual particles can hardly be resolved due to the superimposed out-of-focus signal from neighboring particles. We demonstrate here a three-dimensional volumetric deconvolution applied to the reconstructed wavefront which results in resolving all particles simultaneously in three-dimensions. Moreover, we apply the three-dimensional volumetric deconvolution to reconstructions of a time-dependent sequence of holograms of an ensemble of polystyrene spheres moving in water. From each hologram we simultaneously resolve all particles in the ensemble in three dimensions and from the sequence of holograms we obtain the time-resolved trajectories of individual polystyrene spheres.

(Biophysical Society)Tracking individual nano-objects in live cells during arbitrary long times is a ubiquitous need in modern biol. The authors present here a method for tracking individual 5-nm gold nanoparticles on live cells. It relies on the photothermal effect and the detection of the Laser Induced Scattering around a NanoAbsorber (LISNA). The key point for recording trajectories at video rate is the use of a triangulation procedure. The effectiveness of the method is tested against single fluorescent mol. tracking in live COS7 cells on subsecond timescales. The authors further demonstrate recordings for several minutes of AMPA receptors trajectories on the plasma membrane of live neurons. Single Nanoparticle Photothermal Tracking has the unique potential to record arbitrary long trajectory of membrane proteins using nonfluorescent nanometer-sized labels.

(American Institute of Physics)An ultrafast spectroscopy system based on 2 synchronized noncollinear optical parametric amplifiers (NOPAs) is described. Each NOPA can be independently configured to generate ultrabroadband sub-10 fs visible pulses, tunable 15 fs visible pulses (500-720 nm), tunable 15-30 fs near-IR pulses (900-1500 nm), and 15-20 fs blue pulses (430-480 nm). This system enables to perform pump-probe expts. over nearly two octaves of spectrum with unprecedented temporal resoln. The authors present application examples highlighting the capability of this instrument to track excited-state dynamics occurring on the sub-100 fs time scale: electron transfer in polymer-fullerene blends, intersubband energy relaxation in C nanotubes, and internal conversion in carotenoids.

(American Chemical Society)Optical sensing is 1 of the key enablers of modern diagnostics. Esp. label-free imaging modalities hold great promise as they eliminate labeling procedures prior to anal. However, scattering signals of nanometric particles scale with their vol. square. This unfavorable scaling makes it extremely difficult to quant. characterize intrinsically heterogeneous clin. samples, such as extracellular vesicles, as their signal variation easily exceeds the dynamic range of currently available cameras. Here, the authors introduce off-axis k-space holog. that circumvents this limitation. By imaging the back-focal plane of microscope, the authors project the scattering signal of all particles onto all camera pixels, thus dramatically boosting the achievable dynamic range to up to 110 dB. The authors validate platform by detecting and quant. sizing metallic and dielec. particles over a 200 x 200μm field of view and demonstrate that independently performed signal calibrations allow correctly sizing particles made from different materials. Finally, the authors present quant. size distributions of extracellular vesicle samples.
