Abstract
We report on the experimental observation of mirror-enhanced directional surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) from a self-assembled monolayer of molecules coupled to a nanowire-nanoparticle (NW-NP) junction on a mirror in a remote excitation configuration. Placing the NW-NP junction on a metallic mirror generates multiple gap plasmon modes that have unique momentum space-scattering signatures. We perform Fourier plane imaging of the SERS from the NW-NP on a mirror to understand the effect of multiple hotspots on molecular emission. We systematically study the effect of the ground plane on the directionality of emission from the NW-NP junction and show that the presence of a mirror drastically reduces the angular spread of emission. The effect of multiple hotspots in the geometry on the directionality of the molecular emission is studied using 3D numerical simulations. The results presented here will have implications in understanding plasmon hybridization in the momentum space and its effects on molecular emission.
