Division/Committee: [PHYS: Division of Physical Chemistry]

Coherent nonlinear optical spectroscopy has been a powerful tool for elucidating the structure and dynamics of molecular, materials and biological systems. The field has witnessed tremendous growth over the past few years, achieving broader spectral range, higher spatial resolution, and enhanced detection of weak signals by the implementation of new light sources, new polarization schemes, and coupling with microscopy. These technical innovations have broadened and deepened our understanding of the ultrafast photophysics of a wide range of systems and their functions microscopic and macroscopic length scales and many degrees of freedom. This symposium aims to bring together domestic and international experimentalists at the forefront of both methodology development and application of coherent nonlinear spectroscopy and hyperspectral microscopy for understanding the spatiotemporal dynamics of molecular, biological, and materials systems.
