Ultrafast Spectroscopy of Quantum Materials



The laboratory of Quantum Materials Dynamics conducts research in nonlinear optics, photoexcited state dynamics, and condensed matter physics, focusing on relaxation processes in quantum materials. Methods of ultrafast nonlinear spectroscopy are applied to separate the charge and lattice dynamics upon photoexcitation and to reconstruct the evolution of electronic and structural material properties. The group is equipped with femtosecond and picosecond lasers, spectrometers, and state-of-the-art optical systems developed in our lab, including time- and angle-resolved hemispherical elastic light scattering system for femtosecond surface spectroscopy.



The Quantum Materials Dynamics group is headed by Prof. Sergiy Lysenko at the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez . The group specializes in ultrafast nonlinear optics and femtosecond spectroscopy to investigate and control photoinduced dynamics of quantum materials, transient nematic, structural, and superconducting phases.
