Advances in nonlinear optical spectroscopies: a historical perspective of developments and applications presented at ECONOS

Abstract

This article reviews the contributions to the special issues of the annual European Conference on Nonlinear Optical Spectroscopy (ECONOS) since its establishment in 2002. The review does not only highlight the developments of the scientific areas related to nonlinear optical spectroscopy in Europe but also shows how different sub‐fields evolved globally because ECONOS evolved as an international meeting attracting participants from all over the world. Four main topical categories are identified: (1) theoretical and instrumental developments, (2) applications to gas‐phase and combustion systems, (3) applications to condensed phase matter, and (4) development and applications of micro‐spectroscopy methods.

Recent advances in linear and non‐linear Raman spectroscopy. Part XI

“…Hofkens and co‐authors introduced papers published in a special section of JRS devoted to the development and applications of non‐linear optical spectroscopy at the 14th ECONOS (European Conference on Non‐linear Optical Spectroscopy) and 34th ECW (European CARS Workshop) meeting in Leuven (Belgium) . Johannes Kiefer and co‐authors provided an overview of advances in non‐linear optical spectroscopies by means of a historical perspective of developments and applications presented at ECONOS over the last 14 years . Lydzba‐Kopczynska and Madariaga introduced the special issue of JRS devoted to applications of Raman spectroscopy in art and archaeology .…”

Development and applications of nonlinear optical spectroscopy: 17th ECONOS/37th ECW meeting in Milan (Italy)

“…Besides the abovementioned studies focusing on rather specific applications, there have been contributions on very fundamental aspects, two of which are presented in the special issue. In continuation of his theoretical work presented in past ECONOS special issues, see Kiefer et al for an overview, Marrocco demonstrates a reconstruction approach of CARS signals generated by means of laser pulses with asymmetric amplitude and phase. For this purpose, he proposes a two‐step procedure in which the field amplitudes and the phases are considered separately.…”

Dual‐probe polarization spectroscopy as a concept for combustion diagnostics

“…Spectroscopic methods for combustion diagnostics commonly rely on the availability of linewidth reference data and broadening models. [1][2][3][4][5] Prominent examples are laser-induced fluorescence (LIF), [6] coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS), [7] and degenerate four-wave mixing (DFWM). [8] Line-broadening effects can be studied in two ways, in the frequency and in the time domain.…”
