Embodiment Construction

[0036] I. Definition

[0037] The following terms have the following meanings, unless otherwise stated, "plasmon resonance metal" includes any metal, such as gold, silver or aluminum, which can support surface electromagnetic modes - surface plasmon polarization (SPP), i.e. photons and plasmons Coupling modes of bulk oscillators.

[0038] A "chemical group" in a sample may include a subunit or part of a subunit in a polymer, such as a nucleic acid group, or a chemically substituted molecular group, such as a hydroxyl, amine, alkyl, acid or aldehyde group. These chemical groups are characterized by characteristic enhanced Raman spectral signatures or features.

[0039] "Gap mode" refers to electromagnetic conventional modes or electromagnetic eigenmodes that are placed near a metal surface by an external electromagnetic field located in the gap between two or more plasmon resonant particles (less than 40nm), especially when the plasmon resonance is excited on the metal surf...

Abstract

The present invention discloses an apparatus and method for identifying chemical groups in a sample (82). The device (35) comprises: a substrate (80) having a plasmon resonant surface supporting a sample (82), a beam source (10), and one or more plasmon particles ( A lens assembly (60) of nanolenses composed of PRP). Arranging the PRP in the space between the nanolens (62) and the resistive detection zone on the substrate surface (80), when the gap between the nanolens (62) and the substrate (80) is 30nm or less, a near field is generated Electromagnetic gap mode. The focusing mechanism in the device is used to move the lens assembly (60) towards or away from the substrate surface (80), and the gap is less than 30nm, thereby generating an electromagnetic gap mode for enhancing Raman spectroscopic signals, the A signal is generated from the sample (82) in the detection zone.
