ABSTRACT:
Integrated radiation source/amplifying structures for use in surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and hyper-SERS are disclosed. The structures include a radiation source integrated with a SERS-active structure that is provided within a resonant cavity. SERS and hyper-SERS systems employing the integrated radiation source/amplifying structures are disclosed. Methods of performing SERS and hyper-SERS are also disclosed.
