Primarily based on sunlight and natural and artificial light sources, optics has been the major companion of spectroscopy since scientific observation began. The invention of the laser in the early sixties has boosted optical spectroscopy through the intrinsic or specific symmetry electronic properties of materials at the multiscale (birefringence, nonlinear and photonic crystals), revealed by the ability to monitor light polarization inside or on the surface of designed objects. This Special Issue of Symmetry features articles and reviews that are of tremendous interest to scientists who study linear and nonlinear optics, all oriented around the common axis of symmetry. Contributions transverse the entire breadth of this field, including those concerning polarization and anisotropy within colloids of chromophores and metal/semiconducting nanoparticles probed by UV-visible and fluorescence spectroscopies; microscopic structures of liquid?liquid, liquid?gas, and liquid?solid interfaces; surface- and symmetry-specific optical techniques and simulations, including second-harmonic and sum-frequency generations, and surface-enhanced and coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopies; orientation and chirality of bio-molecular interfaces; symmetry breaking in photochemistry; symmetric multipolar molecules; reversible electronic energy transfer within supramolecular systems; plasmonics; and light polarization effects in materials. 606 $aInformation technology industries$2bicssc 606 $aComputer science$2bicssc 610 $asymmetry breaking 610 $achiral plasmonics 610 $anon-linear optics 610 $aplasmonic devices 610 $aplasmonic sensing 610 $aplasmonics 610 $aLSPR scattering 610 $apolarisation manipulation 610 $ametamaterials 610 $aFaraday effect (rotation) 610 $amagneto-optic Kerr effect (MOKE) 610 $amagnetoplasmonics 610 $amolecular orientation 610 $aspectral unmixing 610 $ainfrared absorption 610 $avisible-infrared sum-frequency generation 610 $aRaman scattering 610 $alinear programming 610 $acentrosymmetry 610 $aspectroscopy 610 $aselection rules 610 $ainfrared 610 $aRaman 610 $asum-frequency generation 610 $ainterfaces 610 $amolecules 610 $ananoparticles 610 $amolecular aggregates 610 $asecond harmonic generation 610 $ahyper rayleigh scattering 610 $asecond harmonic scattering 610 $alight polarizatio 610 $aquantum dots 610 $aphenyl derivative 610 $aUV-Visible spectroscopy 610 $asum-frequency generation spectroscopy 610 $adipole-dipole interaction 610 $apolyoxometalates 610 $adonor/acceptor substituents 610 $afirst hyperpolarizability 610 $a(time-dependent) DFT 615 7$aInformation technology industries 615 7$aComputer science 700 $aHumbert$b Christophe$4edt$01307631 702 $aNoblet$b Thomas$4edt 702 $aHumbert$b Christophe$4oth 702 $aNoblet$b Thomas$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910576875003321 996 $aRecent Advances in Linear and Nonlinear Optics$93028879 997 $aUNINA
