In a Raman spectroscopy, the surface of metal film which is formed on a
dielectric substrate in thickness of 50 to 200 nm and is characterized in
that a plurality of fine holes satisfying the conditions defined by the
following formulae are formed is caused to adsorb the material to be
analyzed, light is projected onto the surface and the scattering light
scattered by the surface is separated to obtain a spectrum of the
scattering light,.lamda..times..times..times..times. ##EQU00001##
d<.lamda.wherein .lamda. represents the wavelength of the projected
light, a represents the cycle of the fine holes, d represents the
diameter of the fine holes, .epsilon. 1 represents the dielectric
constant of the metal film and .epsilon. 2 represents the dielectric
constant of the medium around the surface of the metal film.
