摘要

This thesis focuses on the development of a bidirectional fiber optic probe for the detection of surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). One facet of this fiber-based probe featured an array of coupled optical antennas, which we designed to enhance the Raman signal of nearby analytes. When this array interacted with an analyte, it generated SERS signals specific to the chemical composition of the sample; some of these SERS signals coupled back into the fiber. We used the other facet of the probe to input light into the fiber and collect the SERS signals that coupled into the probe. In this dissertation, the development of the probe is broken into three sections: (i) characterization of antenna arrays, (ii) fabrication of the probe, and (iii) device measurements.;In the first section we present a comprehensive study of metallic antenna arrays. We carried out this study to determine the effects of antenna geometry, spacing, and composition on the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of a coupled antenna array; the wavelength range and strength of the SPR are functions of the shape and interactions of the antennas. The SPR of the array ultimately amplified the Raman signal of analytes and produced a measurable SERS signal, thus determination of the optimal array geometries for SERS generation was an important first step in the development of the SERS fiber probe.;We then introduce a new technique developed to fabricate the SERS fiber probes. This technique involves transferring antenna arrays (created by standard lithographic methods) from a large silicon substrate to a fiber facet. We developed this fabrication technique to bypass many of the limitations presented by previously developed methods for patterning unconventional substrates (i.e. small and/or non-planar substrates), such as focused ion-beam milling and soft lithography.;In the third section of this thesis, we present SERS measurements taken with the fiber probe. We constructed a measurement system to couple light into the probe and filter out background noise; this allowed simultaneous detection of multiple chemicals. Antenna array enhancement factor (EF) calculations are shown; these allowed us to determine that the probe efficiently collected SERS signals.
