The goal of this research project is the application of optimization approaches to optically excited nanostructures consisting of metal, dielectrics and semiconductors including hybrid structures. Allowing variation of geometrical features of nanostructures and pulse shaping, the maximization of target functions is achieved using problem-specific optimization algorithms. This will allow optical control of features like transmission, spatio-temporal excitation patterns and ultrafast gain properties.
