Ultrasensitive and Remote SERS Enabled by Oxygen-free Integrated Plasmonic Field Transmission

Summary: Single-molecule surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a sensitive technique for detecting low concentrations of adsorbed analytes on plasmonic nanosurfaces. Here, we observe that scavenging dissolved oxygen can further increase its sensitivity 109–1010 times, enabling real single-mo...
