Lukas Novotny is a researcher at ETH Zurich with expertise in Levitodynamics, Nanophotonics, and Optoelectronics. His work explores the principles of nano-optics, focusing on the enhancement and quenching of single-molecule fluorescence, optical antennas, and near-field optical microscopy. He investigates phenomena such as longitudinal field modes, Raman characterization of defects in graphene, and optical frequency mixing at coupled nanoparticles. His research also includes the development of high-resolution near-field Raman microscopy and the study of subkelvin parametric feedback cooling of laser-trapped nanoparticles. Novotny's contributions span both theoretical and experimental approaches to understanding light-matter interactions at the nanoscale.
