Remote Excited Raman Optical Activity of Adenine Along Ag Plasmonic Waveguide

Abstract

We report the remote excited Raman optical activity (ROA) of adenine along Ag plasmonic waveguide. First, the surface plasmons that propagate along Ag nanowire is demonstrated experimentally. Second, the Raman spectra of adenine are measured experimentally. Third, the remote exited ROA by plasmonic waveguide are measured and compared. It is found that the plasmon chirality strongly influenced the molecular ORA by the local surface plasmon and remote plasmon waveguide. The plasmon chirality of nanostructures and the chirality plasmon waveguide should be considered in the experiments for the local and remote measurement.
