Editor Yakovlev (physics, U. of Wisconsin, Milwaukee) has gathered the latest research on the use of nonlinear optical spectroscopy in biochemical applications, providing students and fellow researchers with an update of the latest technological advances employed in the field. Expert contributors discuss such topics as a comparison of nonlinear optical spectroscopy with x-ray crystallography, the use of multiphoton fluorescence to study chemical phenomenon on the skin and multi-modal approaches that use several spectroscopic techniques in a single instrument. Novel and future approaches are also discussed, such as the effects of spatial beam shaping on generated nonlinear Raman signals in a tightly focused geometry.
