Nanoscopic study of second-harmonic generation in organic crystals with collection-mode near-field scanning optical microscopy.
Collection-mode near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM) is used to map nanoscopic second-harmonic generation (SHG) in N -(4-nitrophenyl)- (L) -prolinol crystals. A spatial resolution of 98 nm is achieved. Near-field polarization-dependent SHG measurement is performed, and a local effective SHG susceptibility of 224+/-18 pm/V is obtained.
