Sum frequency generation vibrational spectroscopy (SFG-VS) is an intrinsically surface-selective vibrational spectroscopic technique based on the second-order nonlinear optical process. Since its birth in the 1980s, SFG-VS has been used to solve interfacial structure and dynamics in a variety of research fields including chemistry, physics, materials sciences, biological sciences, environmental sciences, etc. Better understanding of SFG-VS instrumentation is no doubt an essential step to master this sophisticated technique. To address this need, here we will present a Tutorial with respect to the classification, setup layout, construction, operation, and data processing about SFG-VS. We will focus on the steady state Ti:sapphire based broad bandwidth SFG-VS system and use it as an example. We hope this Tutorial is beneficial for newcomers to the SFG-VS field and for people who are interested in using SFG-VS technique in their research.
