Sum-frequency Generation Spectroscopy

Sum-Frequency Generation Spectroscopy is a nonlinear optical spectroscopic technique that selectively probes molecular vibrations at interfaces by generating a coherent electromagnetic signal at the sum frequency of two incident laser beams, thereby providing surface-specific structural and chemical information.
