Abstract

Devices, systems, and methods using Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) are disclosed. A device for generating Raman scattered radiation comprises a laser source and a SERS-active structure. The laser source may be configured for emanating radiation from an emanating surface or by forming a depression in the laser source, which creates a region of increased evanescent field from the laser source. SERS systems and methods include a device for generating Raman scattered radiation with a detector configured to receive the Raman scattered radiation.
