M.Sc.: We demonstrated surface-oriented growth of colloidal photonic crystals on patterned substrates
fabricated with a novel laser interference lithography process [1].
PhD: My research goal was to study dynamic changes in the propagation of light in photonic crystals
by ultrafast optical switching. We designed and built an advanced pump-probe setup [2,12], capable of
octave-broad time-resolved reflectivity measurements. Using 3D Si-inverse opals [5,7] and Si woodpile
crystals [8,9], we demonstrated the first optical switching of photonic band gap crystals. Further
experiments were performed on microcavities [6] and on planar photonic structures [3,4].

1. Optofluidic microreactors. In an interdisciplinary collaboration with leading chemistry groups in the
UK, funded by the Hamburg-based Körber Stiftung, our team has developed hollow-core photonic
crystal fibres (HC-PCFs) that uniquely allow single-mode, low-loss propagation of light in a tiny liquid-
filled core. The maximized overlap between light and sub-µL samples enables highly-efficient
photochemistry [14], photo-switching [26], and (two-photon) fluorescence experiments [31,37], at
optical powers that are five orders of magnitude lower than in conventional systems. The system allows
sensitive in-situ reaction monitoring by absorption spectroscopy, which is also of great importance in
catalytically active HC-PCFs [23,36]. In a continuous flow arrangement, photoproducts can be analyzed
in parallel by mass-spectrometry [24], which is particularly important in the development of novel light-
activatable anticancer drugs [41]. HC-PCFs made of high-index non-silica glass [20,42] enable the use
of high-index solvents, extending the range of chemical reactions that can be studied. This research has
recently been reviewed in, and highlighted on the front covers of the leading chemistry journals
ChemCatChem [28] and Chemical Society Reviews [32].
2. Waveguide-based micromanipulation. Radiation pressure resulting from the fundamental mode of a
HC-PCF can keep a microparticle trapped at the center of the core, while propelling it along the fibre.
Our team has demonstrated such highly controlled optical propulsion in air-filled [22,33] and liquid-
filled [13] HC-PCF. In both cases, the velocity of the particles is determined by the balance between the
fluidic drag and radiation pressure, which critically depend on the size and refractive index of the particle
[21]. To monitor the particle speed without the need for external imaging, an in-fibre laser Doppler
velocimetry technique was developed [18]. The experiments in-air filled HC-PCF have led to the
discovery of an optothermal trapping mechanism for microparticles, based on optically driven thermal
creep flow. This result was published in Physical Review Letters [25] and highlighted as an “Editors’
suggestion” and APS “Physics Viewpoint”. An optically trapped particle can also serve as a new type
of “flying particle sensor” for micrometer resolution E-field sensing [43]. In cell-mechanical studies we
have recently observed stress-induced changes in the shape of optically propelled red blood cells [30] at
optical powers that are much lower than in conventional cell-stretchers. These results suggest that HC-
PCF will also be useful as a new tool for the study of single cell biomechanics.
3. Spatial light modulation. In 2008, we demonstrated that higher-order modes can be selectively
excited in HC-PCF using spatial light modulation techniques [11]. This method has enabled a wide range
of experiments including: the first fibre transport of spatially entangled photons [19] and of OAM modes
in twisted fibres [39], efficient amplification of higher-order modes by intramodal [29] and intermodal
[34] stimulated Raman scattering in gas-filled HC-PCF, as well as mode-based microparticle conveyor
belts in HC-PCF [33]. Together with the group of Prof. Tilman Pfau at the University of Stuttgart, we
are currently exploring how higher-order fibre modes can be used to probe cæsium atoms at different
distances from the core wall in PCF-based Rydberg spectroscopy [38]. In close collaboration with the

group of Prof. Gerd Leuchs at MPL, we have designed and fabricated a novel type of PCF whose sub-
micron glass core contains a 180 nm wide “nano-bore” [15]. This fibre breaks the degeneracy between
azimuthally- and radially polarized modes and was used in the first demonstration of entanglement
between different degrees of freedom by quadrature squeezing [16].
I am also strongly involved in experiments that exploit optical gradient forces in a novel type of “dual-
nanoweb” fibre to achieve an optomechanical nonlinearity that exceeds the Kerr nonlinearity by four
orders of magnitude [27,35], as well as in side-scattering experiments that allow non-destructive
measurements of the inner structure of, for instance, twisted PCFs [17,40].
