The intersection of higher-order spectroscopies with the field of plasmonics is an unexplored frontier; therefore, we are exploring the ability of plasmonic nanostructures to drive nonlinear spectroscopies, such as hyper-Raman.  In this talk we discuss recent progress in surface enhanced hyper-Raman scattering (SEHRS).  In particular we highlight its ability to detect single molecules, explore the nonlinear properties of nonlinear chromophores and enhance short-wave IR sensing.  New SERS based detection schemes for environmental pollutants and nuclear forensics are also discussed.
