The Wavelength-Dependent SERS Template Based on a Nanopillar Array
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) can be regarded as a powerful tool for probing chemical molecules by effectively enhancing Raman signals. However, the enhancement factors depend on the SERS template, the probed molecular structures, and the excitation laser wavelength. Herein, we proposed...

description | Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) can be regarded as a powerful tool for probing chemical molecules by effectively enhancing Raman signals. However, the enhancement factors depend on the SERS template, the probed molecular structures, and the excitation laser wavelength. Herein, we proposed a simple and easily fabricated nanostructured template for SERS and analyzed the wavelength-dependent factors. Three types of golden nanopillar arrays on silicon wafers were designed and manufactured. The SERS signals of the Rhodamine 6G (R6G) molecules were extracted. Three laser sources, a blue 17 mW 458 nm diode laser, a green 20 mW 532 nm laser, and a red 6 mW 633 nm laser, were employed as the excitation laser sources. The 458 nm laser was located far from the resonate spectrum of R6G. The optical intensity distributions for the different SERS templates excited by three laser beams were also simulated. The enhancement factors (EFs) of R6G on the three nanostructured templates were measured and compared. The photoluminescence spectrum of the nanostructured templates and SERS signals of R6G were also measured. In addition, the experimental results concerned optical simulations. The analysis tool that was used was a convolution profile of multiple Lorentzian line shapes with a Gaussian profile. It is helpful to understand the SERS signals when the excitation laser wavelength is located out of the resonance region of molecules. It can also provide a new design approach to fabricate an SERS Template with a nanopillar array for different excitation wavelengths. |
