Laser-induced processes like desorption or diffusion often show a strong non-linear dependence on laser fluence. As a consequence, the desorption- or diffusion-rates differ strongly for different areas of the excited surface because of the laser's beam profile.
We present a setup for spatially resolved optical second-harmonic generation (SHG), i.e. SHG-microscopy, and illustrate its operation on the basis of our time-domain study of laser-induced diffusion of oxygen on a vicinal Pt(111) surface at low substrate temperature. Femtosecond laser pulses excite not only the diffusion of oxygen on the surface itself but also generate the second-harmonic light which is detected spatially resolved by an intensified CCD camera. Magnification of the area of interest on the sample to the CCD chip is achieved by a commercial camera lens. The fluence dependence of the diffusion process can be measured in real space across the laser's beam profile. In combination with a two-pulse correlation experiment, the fluence dependence of the energy transfer time between electronic and adsorbate system can be investigated in the same way.
