The spectral sensor for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) of the
present invention is prepared with a single-crystal noble metal nanowire
which has a high quality, a high purity and an excellent shape. Thus, the
sensor can be used for in-situ detection. Further, since a sensor site
for reacting with irradiated laser beam can have a controlled structure,
shape and a controllable hot spot, reliability and reproducibility are
excellent and sensitivity of the sensor can be improved. In addition,
with the optimization of a mechanical structure of a single noble metal
single-crystal nanowire and a polarization direction of laser beam,
sensitivity, selectivity and signal intensity become high. Furthermore,
the spectral sensor for surface-enhanced Raman scattering of the present
invention can be advantageously used not only as a sensor for detecting
chemicals but also as a biosensor and a sensor for diagnosis of disease.
