On Friday August 15, 2014, representatives from the Fleming and Ginsberg groups gave a short presentation on the applications of nonlinear spectroscopy. The focus was on example systems under study, the kind of information accessed, and current/planned experimental capabilities in their groups. They then opened it up to discussion to brainstorm how spectroscopic techniques might be applied to problems in energy nanosciences and compliment the other characterizations used by groups in the Kavli Institute.
