Laser-induced phase change in Langmuir films observed using nanosecond pump-probe Brewster angle microscopy

A technique is described to observe transient events in thin interfacial films and monolayers. p-polarized light has minimum reflectivity at the Brewster angle. When an interface is viewed with light that is both incident and reflected at the Brewster angle the resulting image is dark. However, smal...
