Abstract

A broad spectral surface enhanced Raman scattering sensor is developed using the solid core holey photonic crystal fiber with silver nanoparticles cluster. This SERS probe offers an operational excitation wavelength range overlaying visible light and near infrared light. The PCF SERS sensing is demonstrated in the detection of the 4-Mercaptobenzoic acid (10−6 M) solution with 514.5 and 785 nm excitation. In this structure of PCF sensor, the related analysis shows that leakage modes also make an important contribution in the SERS activity not only by the evanescent field way.
