The role of focused laser plasmonics in shaping SERS spectra of molecules on nanostructured surfaces

Fran Nekvapil, Cosmin Farcău

The dependence of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra on the precise axial position of the laser focus relative to a solid nanostructured substrate has received little…

Metal-coated microsphere monolayers as surface plasmon resonance sensors operating in both transmission and reflection modes

Cosmin Farcău

Metal-coated microsphere monolayers (MCM) are a class of plasmonic crystals consisting of noble metal films over arrays of self-assembled colloidal microspheres. Despite their ease…
