Abstract
A method for achieving the ultrahigh sensitivity required for surface Raman spectroscopy is described. Polarization selective heterodyne detection permits shot-noise limited subnomolayer detection with classically noisy picosecond laser sources. Preliminary experimental results show that the polarization selectivity can be used to reduce the overwhelming thermally induced changes in metal surface reflectivity.
