Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a technique that provides significant augmentation to the Raman signal in Raman spectroscopy. Highly sensitive SERS applications have been proposed, developed, and employed in various fields, including electrochemical and catalytic areas, single molecule detection, bioanalyte sensing, and quantifications.

This Special Issue offers an overview of the recent developments and strategies related to SERS applications.

We encourage researchers from interdisciplinary fields to submit their contributions to this Special Issue, especially those who are working on SERS and other variations of Raman spectroscopy, e.g.:

  • Surface-enhanced spatially offset Raman spectroscopy (SEORS);
  • Tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS);
  • Surface-enhanced resonance Raman spectroscopy (SERRS);
  • Surface-enhanced coherent anti-stokes Raman scattering (SECARS);
  • Surface-enhanced stimulated Raman spectroscopy (SESRS);
  • Surface-enhanced Raman optical activity (SEROA);
  • Surface-enhanced hyper Raman scattering.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Photonics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

In this study, a novel composite Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) substrate is proposed for ultrasensitive detection. Consisting of gold sinusoidal nanograting and silver colloidal nanoparticles (AgNPs-AuSG), this type of SERS substrate is easy for fabrication by maskless laser interference lithography, and capable of providing large-scale ultra-high field enhancement, attributed to localized surface plasmons (LSPs) and surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs). The enhancement factor (EF) of this composite substrate is as high as up to 10 orders of magnitude in the simulation experiment. Experimental results show that this large-area, productive SERS substrate of AgNPs-AuSG has realized sensitive TNT and RDX detection with the limit of detection (LOD) of 10−10 M, which may be a potential candidate for trace explosives detection.
