ABSTRACT
Optical fiber Raman and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) probes hold great promise for in vivo biosensing and in situ monitoring of hostile environments. However, the silica Raman scattering background generated within the optical fiber increases in proportion to the length of the fiber, and it can swamp the signal from the target analyte. While filtering can be applied at the distal end of the fiber, the use of bulk optical elements has limited probe miniaturization to a diameter of 600 µm, which in turn limits the potential applications. To overcome this limitation, femtosecond laser micromachining was used to fabricate a prototype micro-optical filter, which was directly integrated on the tip of a 125 µm diameter double-clad fiber (DCF) probe. The outer surface of the microfilter was further modified with a nanostructured, SERS-active, plasmonic film that was used to demonstrate proof-of-concept performance with thiophenol as a test analyte. With further optimization of the associated spectroscopic system, this ultra-compact microprobe shows great promise for Raman and SERS optical fiber sensing.
