Picosecond SFG Spectroscopy Setup
On the right is the commercial picosecond scanning Sum Frequency Generation (SFG) vibrational spectrometer (EKSPLA), and on the left is our custom-built optical configuration designed specifically to probe buried interfaces. By combining high-end commercial components with tailored optical design, we achieve the precision and flexibility needed to explore complex interfacial phenomena.
My work primarily revolves around sum frequency generation spectroscopy, along with Raman and infrared spectroscopy. What sets my approach apart is a strong emphasis on custom-built instrumentation. Instead of relying solely on commercial systems, we work hands-on in designing and building our own setups, which we control directly through Python programming language. This DIY and programmable approach gives us the flexibility to tailor high-end spectroscopic instruments precisely to our experimental needs, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with standard tools.
