Ev. Alieva et al., SUM-FREQUENCY GENERATION SPECTROSCOPY OF THIN ORGANIC FILMS ON SILVERUSING VISIBLE SURFACE-PLASMON GENERATION, Chemical physics letters, 292(4-6), 1998, pp. 542-546
We present vibrational spectra of thin films of copper phthalocyanine
and hexamethylenetetramine on silver obtained by a visible-infrared su
m frequency generation (SFG). Excitation of a surface plasmon on the s
ilver layer was used to enhance the efficiency of the SFG process. The
free electron laser FELIX was used as a source of a broadband infrare
d and a pulsed Nd:YLF laser as a source of a visible radiation. (C) 19
