Abstract :
The development of infrared sensing platform requires adapted materials. In this work, we used sputtered gold nanoparticles on a chalcogenide glass to demonstrate that these infrared materials can be used as substrate for surface enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA) spectroscopy. The sputtering parameters were optimized to get the highest possible enhancement. To assess it, a self-assembled monolayer of 4-nitrothiophenol was used. These preliminary results are promising and pave the way for various configurations of waveguide for integrated optical components.
