Abstract
In this Tutorial series, we aim to provide an accessible introduction to vibrational sum frequency generation (VSFG) spectroscopy, targeted toward people entering the VSFG world without a rigorous formal background in optical physics or nonlinear spectroscopy. In this article, we discuss in detail the processes of collecting and processing VSFG data, and user-friendly processing software (sfgtools) is provided for use by people new to the field. Some discussion of analyzing VSFG spectra is also given, specifically with a discussion of fitting homodyne VSFG spectra, and a discussion of what can be learned (both qualitatively and quantitatively) from VSFG spectra.
