We study the polarized Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering from randomly oriented molecules adsorbed on near-feld coupled gold nanowires. We show that the scattering is polarized always along the wire-to-wire nanocavities. We fnd the exact angular dependence for the polarized, unpolarized, parallel- and cross-polarized SERS intensity. Finally we develop a model that fts the experimental data and allows to measure the feld enhancement and the re-radiation enhancement factors, independently, and retrieve the depolarization ratio of the probe molecules. © 2011 by the Author(s); licensee Accademia Peloritana dei Pericolanti, Messina, Italy.

Abstract
We study the polarized Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering from randomly oriented molecules adsorbed on near-feld coupled gold nanowires. We show that the scattering is polarized always along the wire-to-wire nanocavities. We fnd the exact angular dependence for the polarized, unpolarized, parallel- and cross-polarized SERS intensity. Finally we develop a model that fts the experimental data and allows to measure the feld enhancement and the re-radiation enhancement factors, independently, and retrieve the depolarization ratio of the probe molecules. © 2011 by the Author(s); licensee Accademia Peloritana dei Pericolanti, Messina, Italy.File in questo prodotto:
