Abstract
In general, the electromagnetic mechanism is understood as the strongest contribution to the overall surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) enhancement. Due to the excitation of surface plasmons, a strong electromagnetic field is induced at the interfaces of a metallic nanoparticle leading to a drastic enhancement of the Raman scattering cross-section. Furthermore, the Raman scattered light expierences an emission enhancement due to the plasmon resonances of the nanoantennas. Herein, this second part of the electromagnetic enhancement phenomenon is investigated for different Raman bands of crystal violet by utilizing the anisotropic plasmonic character of gold nanorhomb SERS arrays. We aim at evaluating the effects of localized and propagating surface plasmon polariton modes as well as their combination on the scattered SERS intensity. From that point of view, design and fabrication strategies towards the fabrication of SERS arrays for excitation wavelengths in the visible and near-infrared (NIR) spectral region can be given, also using a double-resonant electromagnetic enhancement.
