摘要

Abstract

Due to its amazing ability to manipulate light at the nanoscale

plasmonics has become one of the most interesting topics in the field of light–matter interaction. As a promising application of plasmonics

surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has been widely used in scientific investigations and material analysis. The large enhanced Raman signals are mainly caused by the extremely enhanced electromagnetic field that results from localized surface plasmon polaritons. Recently

a novel SERS technology called remote SERS has been reported

combining both localized surface plasmon polaritons and propagating surface plasmon polaritons (PSPPs

or called plasmonic waveguide)

which may be found in prominent applications in special circumstances compared to traditional local SERS. In this article

we review the mechanism of remote SERS and its development since it was first reported in 2009. Various remote metal systems based on plasmonic waveguides

such as nanoparticle–nanowire systems

single nanowire systems

crossed nanowire systems and nanowire dimer systems

are introduced

and recent novel applications

such as sensors

plasmon-driven surface-catalyzed reactions and Raman optical activity

are also presented. Furthermore

studies of remote SERS in dielectric and organic systems based on dielectric waveguides remind us that this useful technology has additional

tremendous application prospects that have not been realized in metal systems.
