Research Areas
The research topic of Prof. Nolte is ultrashort laser pulses with the main focus on ultrashort pulse micromachining and material modification for industrial and medical applications, areas where he has been actively engaged in since the field's inception in the mid-1990s. Current research interests include:

Linear and nonlinear interaction of light and matter
Micro- and nanostructuring by ultrashort laser pulses
Ultrashort pulse laser cutting and welding
3D-volume structuring of glasses and crystals
Fiber and volume Bragg gratings
Linear and nonlinear optics in discrete systems
Additive manufacturing using ultrashort laser pulses
Applications of ultrashort lasers in ophthalmology
Nonlinear spectroscopy
