We demonstrate the generation of Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) signals from integrated bowtie antennas, excited and collected by the fundamental TE mode of a single mode silicon nitride waveguide. Due to the integrated nature of this particular single mode SERS probe one can rigorously quantify the complete enhancement process. The Stokes power, generated by a 4-nitrothiophenol-coated antenna and collected into the fundamental TE mode, exhibits an 8 × 106 enhancement compared to…

A nanotweezer system for evanescent wave excited surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) of single nanoparticles.

The addition of a shell to the metallic NPs minimized particle-induced laser damage to the waveguide, which allowed for the stable acquisition of the SERS spectra, and realizes a new nanophotonic approach, which is referred to as near-field light scattering Raman (NLS-Raman), for simultaneous near- field optical trapping and SERS characterization of single metallicNPs.
