Abstract :
Planar integrated liquid-core ARROW waveguides for molecule specific surface-enhanced Raman (SERS) sensing are discussed. We demonstrate SERS detection from rhodamine 6G molecules bound to silver nanoparticles in picoliter volume ARROW waveguides and present waveguide designs for integrated Rayleigh-peak filtering.
