Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Chemistry ((LNC,volume 97))

Abstract

A brief introduction of the sum frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy, the main theme of this book, is provided. An overview of second-order nonlinear optical processes, including SFG and second-harmonic generation (SHG), is presented with emphasizing their spatial and temporal characteristics and symmetries. Fundamental features of visible-infrared SFG vibrational spectroscopy as a tool of interface characterization are summarized in comparison with infrared and Raman vibrational spectroscopies. Some examples of visible-infrared SFG vibrational spectra are also illustrated to show typical spectroscopic information drawn from the SFG spectroscopy.
