Description
Summary:Emission pattern of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) from the junction of single nanoparticle and a metal film was experimentally demonstrated. The presence of a thin metal film enables the excitation of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) to greatly improve the excitation efficiency of SERS, which is subsequently coupled back to SPPs and re-radiates into the substrate side with higher refractive index at SPP excitation angle. The so-called surface plasmon coupled emission can serve as a high sensitivity detection tool for SERS and particularly for the tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy.
