Advances in nonlinear optical spectroscopies: a historical perspective of developments and applications presented at ECONOS. (17th December 2015) - Kiefer, Johannes
Abstract : This article reviews the contributions to the special issues of the annual European Conference on Nonlinear Optical Spectroscopy (ECONOS) since its establishment in 2002. The review does not only highlight the developments of the scientific areas related to nonlinear optical spectroscopy in Europe but also shows how different sub‐fields evolved globally because ECONOS evolved as an international meeting attracting participants from all over the world. Four main topical categories are identified: (1) theoretical and instrumental developments, (2) applications to gas‐phase and combustion systems, (3) applications to condensed phase matter, and (4) development and applications of micro‐spectroscopy methods.

Abstract : This article reviews the contributions published in the European Conference on Nonlinear Optical Spectroscopy (ECONOS) special issues of the Journal of Raman Spectroscopy . The broad applicability of nonlinear optical techniques gives rise to the highly interdisciplinary character of the ECONOS conference, which attracts scientists and engineers of all disciplines every year. This review gives an idea of this unique breadth of topics that were covered in the exciting history of the meeting.
