Biological systems exhibit intrinsic heterogeneity due to subpopulation kinetics, non-correlated temporal behavior and complex dynamics. Studying single biological events unravels the fascinating subtleness of biological phenomena, which is unattainable in ensemble averaging. This is accomplished by using novel optical microscopy and fluorescence techniques to probe individual proteins, complexes, viruses or cells in real time and with superior accuracy. I will address fundamental questions regarding biological interactions: Start: 2010-04-05 16:00

Mineral and compound semiconductors form the basis for most of the electronic and optoelectronic devices currently on the market. Their properties derive from the electronic band structure of highly crystalline materials. Recently, organic molecular and polymeric materials in optoelectronic applications are beginning to emerge in organic light emitting diodes (OLEDS), polymer photovoltaics and polymer electro-optic switches. | 6

Science and technology are strongly influenced by light-matter interactions in materials that comprise real optoelectronic devices. The designs of these devices can be enhanced using knowledge of the fundamental electronic dynamics and dephasing processes. Ultrafast pulsed laser experiments provide a snapshot of these fundamental processes, and tailoring the excitation pulses allows for coherent control of the light-matter interactions. | 9

Coherent optical control of optoelectronic, photonic and quantum electronic materials is useful because it elicits information about fundamental physical processes. It also providing better knowledge of how these materials behave when incorporated into nanoscale and quantum devices. Here, I demonstrate quantum interference between single and two-photon absorption pathways in semiconductors. This injected and controls transient currents that are detected by terahertz emission.
