Title: Multimodal (Non)Linear Optical Nanoimaging and Nanospectroscopy

Abstract

This article highlights recent advances in linear and nonlinear spectral nanoimaging. The described developments are motivated by the need to characterize molecular and material systems noninvasively with nanometer spatial and femtosecond temporal resolution. Indeed, the ability to image and chemically characterize heterogeneous interfaces with joint nano–femto resolution is a prerequisite to advancing our fundamental understanding of processes as diverse as heterogeneous catalysis, microbial communication, and energy flow in pristine/defect-containing low-dimensional quantum materials, to name a few. We describe pioneering work and recent demonstrations of (non)linear optical nanoimaging and nanospectroscopy, with an emphasis on high spatial resolution measurements conducted under ambient laboratory conditions.
