The liquid core waveguide demonstrated was constructed by using the light-guiding silica capillary modified with SERS-active nanoparticles on the inner surface of the fiber wall. The Raman signal of the sample can be remarkably enhanced by the immobilized Ag nanoparticles. The laser and SERS scattering from the flowing liquid in the core possess the totally reflective waveguide model within the fiber wall. Thus, the sample dissolved in the low refractive index liquid, e.g. methanol, can be quantitatively monitored by Raman spectra in the liquid core cell and the detection limit can reach 10 -8 mol/L.展开更多

The formed silver particle films exhibit much higher surface Raman enhancement factor than silver colloids, and the power used on silver particle films is only about 1% of that on silver colloids. Combining with resonance Raman enhancement technique, we realize single molecular Raman detection under the common conditions by using this silver particle films as SERS active substrate.展开更多

Various nanostructures such as nanorod, nanowires and surface-rough nanocubes, could be obtained under carefully tuning experimental conditions. The surface-enhanced Raman scattering(SERS) character of these films was investigated by using 4-mercaptopyridine(4-MPY) as the probing molecule.展开更多
