چکیده

Chiral spectroscopic study: The intensities of second harmonic generation chiral spectroscopy are obtained from the dispersion of the nonlinear optical susceptibility components, as a function of wavelength for helicenbisquinone thin films (see figure). A single formalism fits all the data simultaneously, and the findings constitute an important milestone towards the development of a new experimental technique.

Nonlinear optical spectroscopy of chiral molecules.

We review nonlinear optical processes that are specific to chiral molecules in solution and on surfaces. In contrast to conventional natural optical activity phenomena, which depend linearly on the electric field strength of the optical field, we discuss how optical processes that are nonlinear (quadratic, cubic, and quartic) functions of the electromagnetic field strength may probe optically a...

Nonlinear chiral imaging of subwavelength-sized twisted-cross gold nanodimers [Invited]

We perform second-harmonic generation (SHG) microscopy with circularly polarized (CP) light to measure chirality of individual twistedcross gold nanodimers. The chiral signatures, based on different SHG response for the two CP components of incident light, are clearly visible even with off-resonance excitation. The SHG responses of individual nanodimers are found to vary by about a factor of fi...

Second harmonic generation imaging with a kHz amplifier [Invited]

Nonlinear optical imaging is a powerful method for observing bulk and interfacial phenomena in time and space. Here, we present a stepby-step description of how to carry out second harmonic generation imaging with a kHz amplifier laser system and demonstrate its applicability for SHG microscopy studies of highly size-resolved colloidal CdSe quantum dots having radii of 1-2 nm deposited on glass...

Polarization-resolved second-harmonic-generation optical coherence tomography in collagen.

We describe a novel imaging technique, second-harmonic-generation optical coherence tomography (SHOCT). This technique combines the spatial resolution and depth penetration of optical coherence tomography (OCT) with the molecular sensitivity of second-harmonic-generation spectroscopy. As a consequence of the coherent detection required for OCT, polarization-resolved images arise naturally. We d...

Second-harmonic optical spectroscopy on split-ring-resonator arrays.

Previous second-harmonic-generation experiments on metallic split-ring-resonator arrays have been performed at fixed fundamental laser center frequency. Here, we perform nonlinear optical spectroscopy on a first set of samples, revealing pronounced resonances. Furthermore, to clarify the role of higher-order split-ring resonances, we perform additional experiments on a second set of samples in ...
