Abstract

Surface second harmonic generation (s-SHG) spectroscopy is a powerful tool to investigate layers or adsorbates on surfaces with high sensitivity. For this nonlinear technique, sophisticated reference methods are needed to properly treat the measured raw data. We present an easy-to-implement reference measurement method for s-SHG spectroscopy for surface layers or adsorbates. It directly allows for extracting reference-corrected s-SHG spectra from raw data. SHG from thin slabs of BK7 and MgO in the spectral range from 450 to 900 nm (fundamental beam) is used to obtain the reference spectrum. The method includes the experimental determination of the dispersive properties of the optical setup over the relevant spectral range. The accuracy of the presented procedure is demonstrated by applying the method to the study of a thin molecular film of 1, 1′-Bi-2-naphthol (Binol) supported on a BK7 substrate.

Figures (6)

Fig. 1.
Fig. 1. llustration of second harmonic generation from a thin plan-parallel slab. Solid curves represent the fundamental laser beam and dashed curves represent the SHG beam. (a) Both the fundamental and the SHG beam leave the substrate at the same angle. (b) For wavelengths where the substrate is transparent to the SHG beam, SH generated at the first interface contributes to the total observed SHG signal. (c) For wavelengths where the substrate is opaque to the SHG beam, THE SHG beam from the first interface is absorbed by the substrate and does not contribute to the total observed SHG signal.

Fig. 3. Angular dependence of s-SHG intensity from a BK7 substrate at 520 and 640 nm. Gray curves show measured data and black curves show the simulated data using Eqs. (1)–(3). In both panels the arrow indicates the corresponding Brewster’s angle. Insets are included to demonstrate the good agreement between measurement and simulation.

Fig. 4.
Fig. 4. Laser power-corrected wavelength-dependent s-SHG intensity spectrum of a thin BK7 substrate is represented by a gray solid curve. The solid black curve is the result of the smoothing procedure. The dashed black curve shows the transmission curve of the same substrate at SH wavelengths (top axis).

Fig. 5.
Fig. 5. Laser power-corrected wavelength-dependent s-SHG intensity spectrum of a MgO thin substrate is shown in solid gray. As expected, interference modulation is observed throughout the measured range, since MgO is transparent to all SHG wavelength covered in this measurement. The s-SHG intensity spectrum of BK7 is also shown for comparison in solid black. The dashed black curve represents the result of the smoothing procedure on MgO data.

Fig. 6.
Fig. 6. Data treatment procedure is demonstrated using Binol coated BK7 as a test system. The upper panel shows the raw data before any data treatment. The middle panel shows the same data after laser power correction. In the lower panel the black solid curve shows the data after full data treatment including spectrometer function correction. Gray circles indicate single data points. The dashed black curve represents the linear absorption spectrum of Binol on quartz glass measured by a commercial UV–Vis spectrometer.
