Fano Metamaterials on Nanopedestals for Plasmon-Enhanced Infrared Spectroscopy

Abstract We report a sensing platform for surface-enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA) spectroscopy, based on Fano metamaterials (FMMs) on dielectric nanopedestals. FMMs consist of two parallel gold (Au) nanorod antennas, with a small horizontal coupler attached to one of the nanorod antenna. When p...
