Low power density, high-efficiency reflective Raman system for polymer SERS substrates.

ABSTRACT: Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a powerful measurement method in the chemical analysis field. It is much superior to bulk Raman owing to the enhancement of signal sensitivity from the SERS substrate. Nevertheless, the delicate SERS substrates are overpriced, which results in the difficulty of universal measurements. Accordingly, opting for a substrate made of polymer material based on the nanoimprint technique shows great potential for low-cost and high-performance SERS substrates. However, due to its low heat conductivity, the polymer's thermal properties may cause heat to concentrate on the incident spot and damage the nanostructures or analytes. In this article, we proposed a novel design of the Reflective Raman (RR) system to reduce the input power density and maintain hi
