Second-order Nonlinear Optical Characterization Techniques - Verbiest, Thierry (Katholieke Universiteit, Leuven, Belgium) a Clays, Koen (Katholieke Universiteit, Leuven, Belgium) a Rodriguez, Vincent (Universite Bordeaux 1, Talence, France)

Presents an overview of second-order nonlinear optical characterization techniques, such as second-harmonic generation and sum-frequency generation. This book describes how to implement nonlinear optical techniques for specific purposes, from the determination of surface symmetry to molecular orientation and biological imaging.
