Abstract

A sample analysis device capable of realizing the enhancement of a near-field light while increasing a hotspot areal density is provided. In a sample analysis device, multiple nanostructures are arranged on the surface of a base body. A dielectric body is covered with a metal film in each nanostructure. The nanostructures form multiple nanostructure lines. In each nanostructure line, the nanostructures are arranged at a first pitch SP which is smaller than the wavelength of an excitation light and the nanostructure lines are arranged in parallel with one another at a second pitch LP which is greater than the first pitch SP.
