SFG Spectrometer
Description
The Scanning SFG Spectrometer is an advanced system designed for the characterization of vibrational bonds of molecules at surfaces or interfaces. It utilizes Sum Frequency Generation (SFG) Vibrational Spectroscopy, a powerful and versatile method for in-situ investigation of surfaces and interfaces.
The SFG-VS experiment involves mixing a pulsed tunable infrared (IR) laser beam with a visible (VIS) beam, generating an output at the sum frequency (ωSFG = ωIR + ωVIS). The SFG process is allowed only in media without inversion symmetry, making it highly surface specific. The spectrometer offers high spectral resolution and access to a wide range of molecular vibrations from 625 cm⁻¹ to 4300 cm⁻¹.

Frequently Asked Questions
The SFG Spectrometer is used for in-situ investigation of surfaces and interfaces of solids, liquids, polymers, biological membranes, and other systems. It can also be used for remote sensing in hostile environments, investigation of surface reactions under real atmosphere, catalysis, surface dynamics, studies of epitaxial growth, electrochemistry, material, and environmental problems.
The principle behind the SFG Spectrometer is vibrational Sum Frequency Generation (VSFG) spectroscopy, which is a powerful and versatile method for investigating surfaces and interfaces. In a VSFG experiment, a pulsed tunable infrared IR (ωIR) laser beam is mixed with a visible VIS (ωVIS) beam to produce an output at the sum frequency (ωSFG = ωIR + ωVIS).
The spectral range of the SFG Spectrometer is 1000 – 4300 cm⁻¹, with a maximal value of 625 – 4300 cm⁻¹.
The optional accessories for the SFG Spectrometer include a six-axis sample holder, a sealed temperature-controlled sample chamber, and a Langmuir trough.
The SFG Spectrometer is sensitive to submonolayer of molecules and is applicable to all interfaces accessible to light. It is also intrinsically surface-specific and selective to absorbed species.
