Abstract
Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) excited by an incident light can normally produce strong surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) at the nanogaps among plasmonic nano-objects (so-called hot spots), which is extensively explored. In contrast, surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) that can be generated by an incident beam via particular structures with a conservation of wave vectors can excite SERS effects as well. SPPs actually play an indispensable role in high-performance SERS devices but receive much less attention. In this perspective, SPPs and their couplings with LSPR for SERS excitations with differing effectiveness through particular plasmonic/dielectric structures/configurations, along with relevant fabrication approaches, are profoundly reviewed and commented on from a unique perspective from in situ to ex situ excitations of SERS enabled by spatiotemporally separated multiple processes of SPPs. Quantitative design of particular configurations/architectures enabling highly efficient and effective multiple processes of SPPs is particularly emphasized as one giant leap toward ultimate full quantitative design of intrinsically high-performance SERS chips and very critical for their batch manufacturability and applications as well. The viewpoints and prospects about innovative SERS devices based on tailored structure-dominated SPPs effects and their coupling with LSPR are presented and discussed.

A Generalized Methodology of Designing 3D SERS Probes with Superior Detection Limit and Uniformity by Maximizing Multiple Coupling Effects. ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2019; 6:1900177. [PMID: 31179223 PMCID: PMC6548962 DOI: 10.1002/advs.201900177] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2019] [Revised: 02/24/2019] [Indexed: 05/27/2023]
Abstract
Accurate design of high-performance 3D surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) probes is the desired target, which is possibly implemented with a prerequisite of quantifying formidable multiple coupling effects involved. Herein, by combining theory and experiments on 3D periodic Au/SiO2 nanogrid models, a generalized methodology of accurately designing high performance 3D SERS probes is developed. Structural symmetry, dimensions, Au roughness, and polarization are successfully correlated quantitatively to intrinsic localized electromagnetic field (EMF) enhancements by calculating surface plasmon polariton (SPP), localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), optical standing wave effects, and their couplings theoretically, which is experimentally verified. The hexagonal SERS probes optimized by this methodology realize over two orders of magnitudes (405 times) improvement of detection limit for Rhodamine 6G model molecules (2.17 × 10-11 m) compared to the unoptimized probes with the same number density of hot spots, an enhancement factor of 3.4 × 108, a uniformity of 5.52%, and are successfully applied to the detection of 5 × 10-11 m Hg ions in water. This unambiguously results from the Au roughness-independent extra 144% contribution of LSPR effects excited by SPP interference waves as secondary sources, which is very unusual to be beyond the conventional recognition.

Abstract
The enhancement of Raman signal on monocrystalline silicon gratings with varying groove depths and on porous silicon grating were studied for a highly sensitive surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) response. In the experiment conducted, porous silicon gratings were fabricated. Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were then deposited on the porous silicon grating to enhance the Raman signal of the detective objects. Results show that the enhancement of Raman signal on silicon grating improved when groove depth increased. The enhanced performance of Raman signal on porous silicon grating was also further improved. The Rhodamine SERS response based on Ag NPs/ porous silicon grating substrates was enhanced relative to the SERS response on Ag NPs/ porous silicon substrates. Ag NPs / porous silicon grating SERS substrate system achieved a highly sensitive SERS response due to the coupling of various Raman enhancement factors.

Abstract
Directional plasmon excitation and surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) emission were demonstrated for 1D and 2D gold nanostructure arrays deposited on a flat gold layer. The extinction spectrum of both arrays exhibits intense resonance bands that are redshifted when the incident angle is increased. Systematic extinction analysis of different grating periods revealed that this band can be assigned to a propagated surface plasmon of the flat gold surface that fulfills the Bragg condition of the arrays (Bragg mode). Directional SERS measurements demonstrated that the SERS intensity can be improved by one order of magnitude when the Bragg mode positions are matched with either the excitation or the Raman wavelengths. Hybridized numerical calculations with the finite element method and Fourier modal method also proved the presence of the Bragg mode plasmon and illustrated that the enhanced electric field of the Bragg mode is particularly localized on the nanostructures regardless of their size.

Abstract
Double-layer plasmonic nanostructures are fabricated by depositing metal at normal incidence onto various resist masks, forming an antenna layer on top of the resist post and a hole layer on the substrate. Antenna plasmon resonances are found to couple to the hole layer, inducing image charges which enhance the near-field for small layer spacings. For continued evaporation above the resist height, a sub-10 nm gap channel develops due to a self-aligned process and a minimal undercut of the resist sidewall. For such double layers with nanogap channels, the average surface-enhanced Raman scattering intensity is improved by a factor in excess of 60 in comparison to a single-layer antenna with the same dimensions. The proposed design principle is compatible with low-cost fabrication, straightforward to implement, and applicable over large areas. Moreover, it can be applied for any particular antenna shape to improve the signals in surface-enhanced spectroscopy applications.

Abstract
Appropriately designed surface plasmon nanostructures enable the emission patterns of surface-enhanced Raman scattering to be modified to facilitate efficient collection, an effect sometimes termed "beamed Raman scattering". Here, we demonstrate the direct and unambiguous observation of this phenomenon by separating the Raman emission pattern from the luminescent background using energy momentum spectroscopy. We observe beamed Raman scattering from two types of optical antennas: the first are Yagi-Uda optical antennas, and the second are optical dimer antennas formed above a plasmonic substrate consisting of a gold film integrated with a one-dimensional array of gold stripes. For both antenna types, the emission patterns from different Raman lines are simultaneously measured. For the second antenna type, the emission patterns show signatures stemming from the bandstructure of the plasmonic substrate.

Abstract
A two-dimensional array of gold optical antennas integrated with a one-dimensional array of gold strips and mirrors is introduced and fabricated. The experimental results show that this design achieves average surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) enhancement factors as high as 1.2 × 10(10) , which is more than two orders of magnitude larger than optical antennas without the gold strips and gold mirror.

Abstract
We present experimental and theoretical studies of two dimensional periodic arrays of elliptical plasmonic patch nanoantennas. Experimental and simulation results demonstrate that the azimuthal symmetry breaking of the metal patches leads to the occurrence of even and odd resonant cavity modes and the excitation geometries dependent on their modal symmetries. We show that the cavity modes can be described by the product of radial and angular Mathieu functions with excellent agreements with both simulations and experiments. The effects of the patch periodicity on the excitation of the surface plasmon and its coupling with the cavity modes are also discussed.

Abstract
Single molecule detection by directivity enhanced Raman scattering is demonstrated using nanoantennas. Bianalyte Raman scattering is used to confirm the detection of single molecules of Rhodamine 6G and Nile Blue A in aqueous solution. Calculations show that Raman enhancement factors of 10(13) can be achieved by combined optimization of the local field enhancement (hotspot with 10(11) enhancement) and antenna directionality (with 10(2) enhancement).
