The intensity of high harmonics and the background observed in the SERRS spectra of the bis(4-chlorbenzylimido)perylene (CLPTCD), spin-coated onto silver nanostructures are discussed. The SERRS spectra of an Ag island film spin coated with 50 microL of a 8.7 x 10(-7) M of CLPTCD in CH2Cl2 excited at 514.5 nm show signals from the first to the third overtones and combinations of fundamental vibrational modes observed between 1200 and 1600 cm(-1). SERRS spectra were obtained where 2nd overtones were seen with relative intensity equal to that of the 1st overtones and in other SERRS spectra the 3rd overtones were more intense than the 2nd overtones. These varying intensity patterns are seen at submonolayer coverage where there is a breakdown of statistical average, and the spatial distribution of enhancement factors becomes evident. The apparent correlation between the background intensity profile and the enhancement of the overtones and combinations is also discussed.

The combination of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy in the ultraviolet spectral region (UV-SERS) with resonance Raman scattering enhancement, referred to as UV-SERRS, enables ultrasensitive and reliable detection of biomolecules because of the strong electronic transition of many biologically important compounds in UV region. Adenine solution studies by UV-Raman spectroscopy revealed pre-resonant enhancement of various modes by 2-16 times at 325 nm excitation wavelength. Adsorption and structural properties of adenine on a cobalt electrode were probed by UV-SERS.

In the field of optical imaging, the ability to image tumors at depth with high selectivity and specificity remains a challenge. Surface enhanced resonance Raman scattering (SERRS) nanoparticles (NPs) can be employed as image contrast agents to specifically target cells in vivo; however, this technique typically requires time-intensive point-by-point acquisition of Raman spectra. Here, we combine the use of "spatially offset Raman spectroscopy" (SORS) with that of SERRS in a technique known as "surface enhanced spatially offset resonance Raman spectroscopy" (SESORRS) to image deep-seated tumors in vivo.

Surface-enhanced (resonance) Raman scattering (SER(R)S) can extremely enhance Raman intensity of samples, which is helpful for detecting synovial fluid (SF) that does not show Raman activity under normal conditions. In this study, SER(R)S spectra of SF from three different osteoarthritis (OA) stages were collected and analyzed for OA progress, finding that the content of collagen increased throughout the disease, while non-collagen proteins and polysaccharides decreased sharply at advanced OA stage accompanied by the increase of phospholipid. The spectral features and differences were enhanced by salting-out and centrifugation.

The resonant Raman (RR) and resonant SERS spectra of the thiadiazole-based dye dibromobenzo[]-1,2,5-thiadiazole (DBTD) were studied through multiconfigurational XMS-CASPT2/CASSCF and experimental methods in solution. The results indicate that the S excited state of DBTD is described by π → π* with internal CT from the benzene ring to the thiadizole. In resonance conditions at 364 nm, the RR spectrum shows intensifications in modes that describe extensive geometrical changes at both the benzene ring and the thiadiazole region, indicating an internal CT character to the S.

Surface enhanced Resonance Raman spectroscopy (SERRS) is a powerful technique for enhancing Raman spectra by matching the laser excitation wavelength with the plasmonic resonance and the absorption peak of biomolecules. Here, we propose a tunable Tamm plasmon polariton (TPP) cavity based on a metal on distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) as a scalable sensing platform for SERRS. We develop a gold film-coated ultralow-loss phase change material (SbS) based DBR, which exhibits continuously tunable TPP resonances in the optical wavelengths.
