Raman scattering and attenuated-total-reflection studies of surface-plasmon polaritons

Abstract

%e have made in situ measurements of attenuated total reflection {ATR) and Raman scattering from a layered structure consisting of a glass prism, a thin silver film, an MgF2 spacer, and a liquid mixture whose refractive index is matched to that of MgF2. %'hen the incident angle of the laser beam coincides with the ATR angle, the surface-plasmon polariton (SPP) of the silver film is excited resonantly and the Raman scattering intensity of the liquid shows a maximum. The same effect is observed at the frequency of the Stokes scattered light. By measuring the decrease of the Raman scattering intensity of the liquid with increase of the thickness of the MgF2 spacer layer, we have determined the decay length (lq) of the SPP field into the liquid. The measured value of lq --1539 A agrees with the calculated value, 1534 A.

Raman spectra and calculated vibrational frequencies of size-selected C16, C18, and C20 clusters

“…[35][36][37][38] laser ͑Spectra-Physics model 2060͒ pumped dye laser ͑Co-herent model 590͒ using DCM are used for excitation. Raman scattered light is focused into a triple grating spectrometer ͑SPEX Triplemate͒ with either 600 or 1800 g/mm gratings and is imaged onto a charge-coupled device ͑CCD͒ detector ͑Princeton Instruments model LN/ccd-512͒.…”

X-ray Raman scattering with Bragg diffraction in a La-based superlattice

“…(3) and (4). A dynamical model using a theoretical approach similar to the one given in [23] but extended to the inelastic scattering should be implemented to account more accurately for our experimental results.…”

“…During the eighteens, Raman scattering and fluorescence in stratified media were extensively studied both experimentally and theoretically in the optical domain [3][4][5]. Since X-ray Raman scattering has been evidenced [6][7][8], resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) has received a lot of attention, in connection with the development of third generation synchrotrons [9][10][11].…”

Detection limit improvement of surface plasmon resonance based biosensors using statistical hypothesis testing

“…A schematic diagram of the n-layered model system from Ref. 16 is shown in Figure 1. The reflectance is calculated by considering the forward-and backward-propagating light waves in each layer, using a transfer matrix method.…”
