Abstract:

In this conference presentation, we introduce a novel method for enhancing surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) signals using liquid-phase microdroplet lenses. By employing a contract deposition method, we create SERS substrates with a ~210 µm radius silver nanoparticle-coated region (SERS active site) on a hydrophobic porous silicon background. A water droplet is then positioned above the silver nanoparticle-coated region to serve as an optical lens, effectively focusing laser light and creating hotspots that amplify Raman signals. We evaluated three sample deposition methods-direct drying, pure water lens, and sample lens-using melamine samples at varying concentrations. Our results demonstrate that the sample lens method provides the highest Raman signal enhancement. This technique offers a rapid, simple, and highly sensitive approach to SERS analysis, with potential applications across various scientific and industrial fields.
