PLASMONIC-ENHANCED RAMAN SCATTERING SCANNER: A REVOLUTION IN MOBILE SENSING

Summary

This project aims to develop nanoscale waveguide-enhanced spontaneous Raman scattering, thereby bringing on-chip single molecule detection and identification to reality. This project will advance knowledge in photonics, enhanced Raman sensing on-chip and nanofabrication.

Supervisor

Associate Professor Stefano Palomba.

Research location

School of Physics

Program type

Masters/PHD

Synopsis

The expected outcome of this project is the development of fully integrated Raman-based universal molecular sensor. The project will lay the foundations for nanotechnology applications of Raman scattering, and in particular for using plasmonic structures on-chip to detect molecules.The project will provide significant benefits for the mobile sensing market, estimated to reach tens of billions of US dollars in the next few years.
