  • Publication number: 20150070693
    Abstract: An analysis device is provided with an optical element having a structure in which the end portions of the upper surface and the lower surface of second metal layers are capable of having contact with a measurement object, and hotspots are exposed on the element surfaces. Therefore, it is easy for the substance that is the analysis object to be located at the hotspot. Further, since a first metal layer is disposed in the vicinity of the second metal layers, a resonance effect of a localized surface plasmon and a propagating surface plasmon can be generated. Therefore, the enhancement degree of light based on the plasmon is extremely high, and it is possible to analyze the substance with extremely high sensitivity.
