Abstract

In this work, we present a novel fabrication method for making the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) probe based on silver (Ag) nano-dendrites which are grown and deposited on the end of multi-mode fibre core by a simple and low-cost laser-induced technique. The morphology of the Ag-nanoparticles (AgNPs) could be controlled by the experimental conditions such as laser power, illumination time, and concentration of the reaction solution. The morphology and chemical composition of SERS fibre probes are characterized by high-resolution scanning electron microscope (HR-SEM) and Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), respectively. These results confirmed how the Ag nanostructures morphology is modified as a function of illumination time of laser irradiation, and the growth and deposition of Ag nanostructures occur only in the main laser-irradiated part on the end of multi-mode fibre core. The achieved SERS-activity substrates on the fibre probes are testing with the detection of low concentration of Rhodamine 6G aqueous solutions in the range of 10-10 M. This study shows that SERS activity coupled with Ag nano-dendrites substrate on the fibre probe has the best enhancement factor of 1.93×10 for Rhodamine 6G due to the creation of many of hot-spots for amplifying Raman signals by Ag nano-dendrite structures, which is a promising candidate with low-cost SERS probe of chemical compact optical fibre sensors for direct, rapid, real-time and non-destructive detection of chemical compounds in liquid environment.
