Abstract

In this letter, we show that tuning the maximum of the surface plasmon resonance of elongated gold nanoparticles to a wavelength, the position of which is precisely midway between the exciting laser line and the Raman line, results in an optimization of the surface-enhanced Raman-scattering effect.
