Combining surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) with the coherent nonlinear Raman technique is a promising route for achieving higher sensitivity and time-resolved SERS measurements, yet such attempts have just been started. Here, we report time-domain Raman measurements of trans-1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene (BPE) adsorbed on gold nanoparticle assemblies (GNAs), which were carried out with impulsive stimulated Raman spectroscopy using sub-8 fs pulses. We observe coherent nuclear wavepacket motion of BPE on GNAs with drastic enhancement through the surface plasmon resonance, which provides information on the Raman-active vibrations in the time domain. Through Fourier transform of the measured time-domain Raman data, we obtained SERS spectra of BPE on GNAs with enhancement factors as high as 10(5)-10(6). The present study not only demonstrates applicability of time-domain nonlinear Raman techniques in SERS, i.e., surface-enhanced impulsive stimulated Raman spectroscopy (SE-ISRS), but also provides a technical basis for femtosecond time-resolved SE-ISRS experiments to track ultrafast dynamics of the adsorbates.
