Raman spectroscopy relies on inelastic scattering, also known as Raman scattering, when a laser interacts with the molecules. The changes, or the shifts, of the energy of the laser photons can give information about the interacted molecules. This technique has been recently used to detect chemical or biomolecular substances, i.e., narcotic drugs, trace amount of materials, and emerging diseases.<\/p><p>However, most materials give out small Raman signals. In 1974, Fleischmann, et al. successfully developed a technique to amplify the Raman signals up to 6 times with highly roughened silver surfaces. The laser photons that interact with the free electrons in the metals will cause the resonance in these electron cloud. Such phenomenon, called the surface plasmon resonance, helps the energy transfers among the molecules within the proximity. This helps release the energy with higher Raman signals.<\/p><p>Generally, the Raman scattering can be observed when the conditions meet these 2 mechanisms. The first mechanism is the electromagnetic enhancement, which is caused by the stimulation of the surface plasmon resonance within the metal surfaces. The second is the chemical absorption of the molecules, and highly depends on the wavelength of the laser photons, the optical properties of the metals, and the surface structures of the substrates.<\/p><p>Until recently, there have been several processes to develop the substrates that help amplify the Raman signals and their efficiency. The surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates have been a subject of interests among scientists. Theoretically, the SERS substrates can be developed from gold, silver, copper, or other noble metals, and have been widely used in the detections of the biomolecules and chemical molecules.<\/p><p>The NECTEC SERS Chips (Fig. 1) has been developed with our advanced thin-film depositions with the sputtering system by Optical Thin-Film Technology Laboratory (OTL), National Electronics and Computer Technology Center (NECTEC). We have successfully fabricated thin-film-based nanostructures of silver metals (Fig. 2) with unique properties to highly enhance the Raman signals. Our SERS Chips, which come in full packages at a cost-effective price, can yield up to 100 times the Raman signals when compared with those from the commercially available products. The NECTEC SERS Chips can be readily used for trace detections of the trace amount of many substances, which are no longer detectable from conventional Raman spectroscopic technique.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1845ebf elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1845ebf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nectec.or.th\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/276.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-20284\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nectec.or.th\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/276.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.nectec.or.th\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/276-300x150.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3ed33ac elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"3ed33ac\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"255\" height=\"196\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nectec.or.th\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/277.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-20285\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1b1a314 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1b1a314\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>To use the NECTEC SERS Chips, operators can simply swab or wipe an area suspected to be exposed to chemical substances of interest, even though imperceptible to the naked eyes.

And now the operators can go right to the characterizations or analyses with any Raman spectroscopes (Fig. 3).
