Abstract:
A surface-enhanced Raman scattering unit comprises a measurement board used upon measurement; a surface-enhanced Raman scattering element, secured to the measurement board, having a substrate and an optical function part, formed on the substrate, for generating surface-enhanced Raman scattering; and a pressing member, secured to the measurement board, having a ring-shaped contact part contacting a peripheral part of the surface-enhanced Raman scattering element and pressing the surface-enhanced Raman scattering element toward the measurement board.
Abstract:
A surface-enhanced Raman scattering element comprises a substrate having a principal surface; a molded layer including a support part formed on the principal surface and a fine structure part formed on the support part; and a conductor layer, deposited on the fine structure part, constituting an optical functional part for generating surface-enhanced Raman scattering. The fine structure part has a plurality of pillars erected on the support part. The support part is provided with a plurality of opposing parts opposing side faces of the pillars. The opposing parts are located on the substrate side relative to leading end parts of the pillars in a projecting direction of the pillars.
Abstract:
A SERS unit comprises a substrate; an optical function part formed on the substrate, for generating surface-enhanced Raman scattering; and a package containing the optical function part in an inert space and configured to irreversibly expose the space.
Abstract:
A SERS element comprises a substrate; a fine structure part formed on a front face of the substrate and having a plurality of pillars; and a conductor layer formed on the fine structure part and constituting an optical function part for generating surface-enhanced Raman scattering. The pillars have respective side faces provided with grooves. A plurality of gaps are formed in the conductor layer by entering the grooves.
Abstract:
A SERS element comprises a substrate having a front face; a fine structure part formed on the front face and having a plurality of pillars; and a conductor layer formed on the fine structure part and constituting an optical function part for generating surface-enhanced Raman scattering. The conductor layer has a base part formed along the front face and a plurality of protrusions protruding from the base part at respective positions corresponding to the pillars. The base part has a thickness greater than the height of the pillars.
