Research HighlightsExtracting orientational dynamics at interfaces from SFG spectroscopic line shapes
Probing molecular orientation in organic photovoltaic materialsWe were first to successfully measure the spectrum of the water bending vibration at the air/water interface
HD-SFG study of the air-water interface in Nature
Our study of the spectral line shapes of the "free OD" mode at the air/water interface performed using broad-band heterodyne-detected sum frequency generation spectroscopy reveals that the H-bonding in the top-most layer of water molecules at the surface is only slightly weaker than bulk water H-bonds.

Relative phase change of nearby resonances in JPC Lett.SFG line shapes paper in JCP
A detailed treatment of the spectral line shapes in BB-SFG (broad-band sum frequency generation) spectroscopy has appeared in JCP. In particular, the paper deals with the effects of the time delay between the IR and visible pulses on the obtained line shape.
