SPP/LSP coupled hybrid mode directed multi-functional surface-enhanced Raman system by Du, Luping

“…Meanwhile, due to the extremely narrow linewidth of Raman peaks, the SPCE curve of SERS can also be employed for measuring the propagation length of SPPs and quantitatively characterizing the point spread function of an SPCE microscopy. Last but not least, as a promising application, the two-dimensional mapping of the strongly-dominant longitudinal field component of SPPs was realized based on the SERS imaging. …”
