In this project supported by the Chemical Structure, Mechanisms and Dynamics Program, Professor John Fourkas of the University of Maryland and his research group will develop a technique called parametrically amplified vibrational sum frequency generation (PAVSFG) for the study of the structure and dynamics of surfaces and interfaces. PAVSFG is an advanced version of conventional sum frequency generation spectroscopy, which is based on a second order nonlinear optical (NLO) process in which two low energy photons combine at a surface or interface to produce a high energy photon. Since second order NLO processes are very weak in intensity, the parametric amplification process developed in the Fourkas lab will have positive consequences for a wide range of surface and interfacial science investigations, including biological membranes and catalyst surfaces. This project will also be the vehicle for training students and post-doctoral researchers in cutting-edge optical physics and physical chemistry.

在这项由化学结构、机制和动力学计划支持的项目中，马里兰大学的John Fourkas教授和他的研究小组将开发一种名为参数放大振动和频率产生(PAVSFG)的技术，用于研究表面和界面的结构和动力学。PAVSFG是传统和频产生光谱学的高级版本，它基于二阶非线性光学(NLO)过程，在该过程中，两个低能光子在表面或界面结合，产生高能光子。由于二阶NLO过程的强度非常弱，Fourkas实验室开发的参数放大过程将对包括生物膜和催化剂表面在内的广泛的表面和界面科学研究产生积极的影响。该项目还将为学生和博士后研究人员提供尖端光学物理和物理化学方面的培训。
