Description:	Surface-specific nonlinear spectroscopy, such as second harmonic generation (SHG) or sum frequency generation (SFG), has been growing to be a popular tool of interface characterization. These techniques have microscopic sensitivity to the interfaces at a monolayer scale and are applicable to a variety of interfaces as long as the interfaces are accessible by optical probe lights and signal. These techniques are particularly useful to wet and/or soft interfaces, or even buried interfaces, which are hard to be probed by most conventional surface science techniques. Therefore, these techniques have large potential to expand our applicability of interface characterization in wide areas of science and engineering, such as electrochemistry, polymer science, colloid chemistry, heterogeneous atmospheric chemistry, etc. The last decade witnessed great advances in technical aspects, and the surface nonlinear spectroscopy is presently not just for limited experts of spectroscopy but available to wide researchers who want to use these techniques in their fields using commercial apparatus.
