Abstract
Over the past 10 years there has been a resurgence in efforts to develop nonlinear optical techniques for studies of surfaces and interfaces. Chief among these techniques are second-harmonic generation (SHG) and ir-visible sum-frequency generation (SFG). These second-order nonlinear processes offer several advantages. They are inherently sensitive only to the interfacial region between centrosymmetric media. This is because, in the electric dipole approximation, these processes are forbidden in the bulk of such media but are allowed at the interface where the symmetry is broken. Thus, so-called buried interfaces, i.e. surfaces under liquids, high pressure gases, and even other solids, may be investigated. In addition, with sufficiently short-duration laser excitation, these techniques have the potential to provide sub-picosecond time resolution.

Guyot-Sionnest et al. have shown using macroscopic formalisms that structural asymmetry and field discontinuity at an interface contribute separately to the optical nonlinearity of the interface [6.19]. If the refractive indices of the bulk media are not matched, there is a field variation that produces a non-local response involving not only an electric dipole contribution, but all the multipole contributions. Structural asymmetry contributes a local nonlinear polarization, represented by a electric-dipole allowed surface nonlinear susceptibility. Structural asymmetry contributes roughly as much as the field discontinuity. This was shown in a series of investigations in which the SH response of a surface in air was compared to that of the surface under an index-matched fluid [6.22]
