Enhanced backward scattering by surface plasmons on silver film
نویسندگان
چکیده
Surface plasmon and its potential application in nanotechnology have attracted a remarkable amount of attention recently due to their novel properties. In this work we present an angularly resolved surface plasmon scattering study on a primitive metal surface. Using a reversed attenuated total reflection (RATR) setup in the experiment, we obtained a double-crescent shaped and enhanced scattering pattern at far field. The scattering pattern as a function on the variation of angle and polarization of incident beam are studied. Both theoretical and experimental results reveal an enhanced backward scattering by surface plasmon excitation. Consequently, it is shown that this angularly resolved surface plasmon scattering measurement can be employed for resolving a richness of nanoscale surface textures. PACS 42.79.-e; 42.30.Wb; 78.20.Ci

Localized and propagating surface plasmon co-enhanced Raman spectroscopy based on evanescent field excitation.
The localized and propagating surface plasmon co-enhanced Raman scattering of 4-mercaptopyridine was observed based on evanescent field excitation. The most effective coupling of the localized and propagating surface plasmons resulted in a >50 times enhanced signal relative to signals obtained on vacuum-deposited silver film.

Using propagating plasmons on silver nanowires as an excitation source we perform surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) at a nanoparticle/wire junction located remotely from the laser illumination spot with sensitivities in a few molecules range. Simultaneous multisite remote-excitation SERS sensing can also be achieved.
