Abstract:
Design of plasmonic substrates is of immense importance for high sensitivity and spatial resolution in plasmon-enhanced spectroscopy. In this study, the enhancement factors (EFs) of tip-enhanced coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (TECARS) contributed by surface and quantum coherent effects in the ultraviolet region are theoretically analyzed using three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain (3D-FDTD) method. In the multi-resonant TECARS configuration, surface and coherent EFs of 1018 and 109, respectively, can be achieved by considering the synthetic effect of surface and coherent enhancement mechanisms, providing the total TECARS EF of 1027 and sub-5 nm spatial resolution. Our theoretical results not only provide a deeper understanding of ultraviolet (UV)-TECARS but also can be used as a highly efficient reference for the experimental design of TECARS platform.

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...
