Abstract In this work, a simple two-step method to create tunable self-assembled three-dimensional nanostructure array-like nanoantennas directly on the tip of an optical quartz glass fiber is described. The structures are prepared by using dry etching of the fiber tip. For the etching process, gold nanoparticles fabricated by thermal dewetting technique were used as template. The structures are applied as sensors for label-free analysis of organic substances in ppb range, such as drug residues in liquid solutions. The measurements are carried out by a portable Raman device with an exchangeable sensor head utilizing the SERS-effect. This method allows in situ applications. In order to characterize the SERS cells, para-thiocresol and diclofenac sodium are used as model substances. For optimization of the substrate performance, different thicknesses of the dewetting-layer (6, 9, 12 nm), different etching times for formation of the pillars (6, 8, 10 and 12 min), and different thicknesses of SERS-metallization (25, 50, 75 nm) of gold and silver are compared. In order to show the applicability of the structure on the tip of a fiber, measurements from the upper side and from the underside of the substrate on quartz plates are compared. Reproducible SERS enhancement factors up to 10 7 {10^{7}} were achieved.

An in situ method for the determination of trichloroethylene (TCE), perchloroethylene (PCE), chloroform (CHCl3), and carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) in aqueous solution is described. The method is based on ESERS—a combination of electrochemical methods and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). Electrochemistry prepares the surface of a copper electrode for SERS and concentrates the analyte on the surface. The formation of common reaction products for chloroalkanes and for chloroalkenes prevents unequivocal differentiation within a specific class of chlorinated hydrocarbons. However, spectroscopic selectivity between the chloroalkane and chloroalkene classes is excellent, while differences in electrochemical response provide a secondary means for differentiating analyte class. Sensitivity was found to be: <1 ppm for TCE; 15 ppm for PCE; 15 ppm for CHCl3; and 10 ppm for CCl4. Application of the method to groundwater contaminated with TCE has been demonstrated. In combination with a fiber-optic waveguide, the ESERS technique offers potential for remote detection of chlorinated hydrocarbons in groundwater and remediation process streams.
