Vibrational sum frequency generation spectroscopy has the benefit of being very surface-specific, aiding in the the investigation of a given material’s surface chemical and physical properties. As such, the goal of this project was to construct a sum frequency generation microscope that would enable the investigation of surface phenomena on a microscopic scale. Currently, the microscope hardware has been assembled and programmed, and simple spectral images were taken with elastically scattered 532 nm light. These images indicate an image resolution near 3 µm.
