Surface-enhanced Raman scattering using nanoporous gold on suspended silicon nitride waveguides
Abstract:
A hybrid integration of nanoporous gold with silicon nitride waveguide has been realized for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) at 633-nm wavelength. The SERS signal is excited through 580-nm-thick T-shape suspended waveguides and collected through an objective lens. Raman spectra for different mesa width at either transverse electric (TE) or transverse magnetic (TM) mode are measured and compared. The localized surface plasmon resonance of the nanoporous gold can result in a waveguide and polarization-dependent SERS enhancement. The presented miniaturized SERS chips can work from visible to near-infrared wavelength and a wide application prospect could be expected.

Raman Spectroscopy Instrumentation: Overview
The monochromatic laser source, typically using visible or near-infrared radiation, generates a highly focused beam of light. This light interacts with the molecules of the sample, scattering some of the light. Liquid and gaseous samples are usually tested in ordinary glass capillaries, while solids can be analyzed as powders packed in capillaries or as potassium...
