Abstract
We demonstrate that monolayer detection by optical second-harmonic generation is possible even with a 20-mW cw diode laser. Using a focused scanning laser beam, we also demonstrate a new method of monolayer surface microscopy. The same experiments suggest the possibility of an optical monolayer memory device.
