Abstract
This study shows unique capability of deep-subwavelength metal-insulator-metal (MIM) width-graded nano-gratings in offering high intensity electromagnetic field. The plasmonic field is underpinned by the strong coupling of the surface plasmon polaritons on the sidewalls of the nanogrooves. We present quantitative SERS detection of various biomolecule species at an ultra-low concentration corresponding to detection of single molecule. We report limit of detection of a gold coated bullseye width-graded plasmonic nano-grating as a SERS platform in detecting small molecule (such as propylene glycol) or sepsis biomarkers (such as protein c) at multiple wavelengths of light.
