Optical second harmonic generation phase measurement at interfaces of some organic layers with indium tin oxide
We observed phase shift in optical second harmonic generation (SHG) from interfaces of indium tin oxide (ITO)/copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) and ITO/pentacene. Phase correction due to Fresnel factors of the sample was taken into account. The phase of SHG electric field at the ITO/pentacene interface, eh interface with respect to the phase of SHG of bare substrate ITO was 160, while the interface of ITO/CuPc had a phase of 140 degrees.
