Quasi‐two‐colour femtosecond pump and probe spectroscopy and near‐field scanning optical microscopy are combined to study the carrier dynamics in single semiconductor nanostructures. In temporally, spectrally and spatially resolved measurements with a time resolution of 200 fs and a spatial resolution of 200 nm, the non‐linear change in reflectivity of a single quantum wire is mapped in real space and time. The experiments show that carrier relaxation into a single quantum wire occurs on a 100 fs time scale at room temperature. Evidence is given for a transient unipolar electron transport along the wire axis on a picosecond time and 100 nm length scale.
