Abstract
We present a novel procedure for vibrationally resolved sum-frequency generation (SFG) in which a broad-bandwidth IR pulse is mixed with a n arrow-bandwidth visible pulse. The resultant SFG spectrum is dispersed with a spectrograph and detected in parallel with a scientific-grade CCD detector, permitting rapid and high signal-to-noise ratio data acq uisition over a 400-cm(-1) spectral region without scanning the IR fre quency. Application to the study of a self-assembled monolayer of octa decanethiol is discussed.
