Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a valuable technique for trace detection in biosensing and environmental monitoring. In this paper, a new technique based on laser near-field reduction is developed to fabricate a superstructure array with controlled localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) energy. The fabricated array offers flexible tuning of the LSPR and increased sensitivity for SERS sensing.
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) enables trace-detection for biosensing and environmental monitoring. Optimized enhancement of SERS can be achieved when the energy of the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) is close to the energy of the Raman excitation wavelength. The LSPR can be tuned using a plasmonic superstructure array with controlled periods. In this paper, we develop a new technique based on laser near-field reduction to fabricate a superstructure array, which provides distinct features in the formation of periodic structures with hollow nanoclusters and flexible control of the LSPR in fewer steps than current techniques. Fabrication involves irradiation of a continuous wave laser or femtosecond laser onto a monolayer of self-assembled silica microspheres to grow silver nanoparticles along the silica microsphere surfaces by laser near-field reduction. The LSPR of superstructure array can be flexibly tuned to match the Raman excitation wavelengths from the visible to the infrared regions using different diameters of silica microspheres. The unique nanostructure formed can contribute to an increase in the sensitivity of SERS sensing. The fabricated superstructure array thus offers superior characteristics for the quantitative analysis of fluorescent perfluorooctanoic acid with a wide detection range from 11 ppb to 400 ppm.
