Abstract: It has been discovered that specially structured metallic films containing voids can deliver a hugely enhanced surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) effect. By selecting a particular size and geometry for the voids, metallic films can be provided which have an enhanced photon-to-plasmon conversion efficiency for incident radiation of a predetermined wavelength. Controllable surface-enhanced absorption and emission characteristics may thus be provided, which are useful for SERS and potentially also other optical spectrometry and filtering applications. With such a large Raman signal, the invention enables fast, compact and inexpensive Raman spectrometers to be provided opening up many new application possibilities.

In a region as adjacent to the interface as 100 or fewer unit cells of the thin film apart from the interface, a ratio of crystalline region having grown with an orientation of ±2 degrees or less deviation angle on the basis of a crystal orientation of the substratum is 50% or more.
