Broadband SFG spectroscopy

Figure 12.1 Schematic of the spectroelectrochemistry apparatus at the University of Dlinois. The thin-layer spectroelectrochemical cell (TLE cell) has a 25 p.m thick spacer between the electrode and window to control the electrolyte layer thickness and allow for reproducible refilbng of the gap. The broadband infrared (BBIR) and narrowband visible (NBVIS) pulses used for BB-SFG spectroscopy are generated by a femtosecond laser (see Fig. 12.3). Voltammetric and spectrometric data are acquired simultaneously.
