The Dipole-Quadrupole theory of Surface Enhanced Hyper Raman Scattering (SEHRS), created by the authors is expounded in details. Peculiarities of the behavior of electromagnetic field on rough metal surfaces are considered. It is demonstrated that there is an enhancement of the dipole and quadrupole light-molecule interaction near the places with a large curvature. The expression for the SEHRS cross-section of symmetrical molecules, which consists of several contributions is obtained. Selection rules for the scattering contributions are obtained and a qualitative classification of the contributions after an enhancement degree is performed. Analysis of experimental spectra of pyrazine and phenazine, and also some another molecules is performed too. It is demonstrated a full coincidence of experimental regularities in these spectra with the theory suggested.

The review is devoted to explanation of SERS in terms of the dipole and quadrupole light-molecule interactions arising in surface fields strongly varying in space in the region of the strongly irregular surface roughness. The main SERS characteristics, the theory of electromagnetic fields near some model kinds of rough surfaces and some other systems, the theory of SERS Raman tensor for arbitrary and symmetrical molecules, selection rules and analysis of the SER spectra, some anomalies in the SER spectra of symmetrical molecules for some specific conditions, electrodynamic forbiddance of the quadrupole scattering mechanism for the methane molecule and molecules with cubic symmetry groups are considered. The huge enhancement and blinking of the SERS signal arising in the phenomenon of Single Molecule detection by the SERS method are explained. The above theory is compared with some another SERS mechanisms, and the phenomena accompanying SERS are accounted for. It is demonstrated that the theory is in a good agreement with the experiment and explains quite a number of characteristics related to the SERS phenomenon.
The low efficiency of Raman spectroscopy can be overcome by placing the active molecules in the vicinity of scatterers, typically rough surfaces or nanostructures with various shapes. This surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) leads to substantial enhancement that depends on the scatterer that is used. In this work, we find fundamental upper bounds on the Raman enhancement for arbitrary-shaped scatterers, depending only on its material constants and the separation distance from the molecule. According to our metric, silver is optimal in visible wavelengths while aluminum is better in the near-UV region. Our general analytical bound scales as the volume of the scatterer and the inverse sixth power of the distance to the active molecule. Numerical computations show that simple geometries fall short of the bounds, suggesting further design opportunities for future improvement. For periodic scatterers, we use two formulations to discover different bounds, and the tighter of the two always must apply. Comparing these bounds suggests an optimal period depending on the volume of the scatterer.
We report that rhomb-shaped metal nanoantenna arrays support multiple plasmonic resonances, making them favorable bio-sensing substrates. Besides the two localized plasmonic dipole modes associated with the two principle axes of the rhombi, the sample supports an additional grating-induced surface plasmon polariton resonance. The plasmonic properties of all modes are carefully studied by far-field measurements together with numerical and analytical calculations. The sample is then applied to surface-enhanced Raman scattering measurements. It is shown to be highly efficient since two plasmonic resonances of the structure were simultaneously tuned to coincide with the excitation and the emission wave- length in the SERS experiment. The analysis is completed by measuring the impact of the polarization angle on the SERS signal.
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy is a powerful and versatile sensing method with a detection limit down to the single molecule level. In this article, we demonstrate how topology optimization (TopOpt) can be used for designing surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates adhering to realistic fabrication constraints. As an example, we experimentally demonstrated a SERS enhancement factor of 5*10e4 for the 604 cm-1 Raman line of rhodamine 6G using metal nanostructures with a critical dimension of 20 nm. We then show that, by relaxing the fabrication constraints, TopOpt may be used to design SERS substrates with orders of magnitude larger enhancement factor. The results validate topology optimization as an effective method for engineering nanostructures with optimal performance and fabrication tolerance.
Raman intensity of Rhodamine B (RhB) is enhanced by inserting a thin high k{appa} dielectric layer which reduces the surface plasmon damping at the gold-graphene interface. The results indicate that the Raman intensity increases sharply by plasmonic resonance enhancement while maintaining efficient fluorescence quenching with optimized dielectric layer thickness.
