The Eurofel Support Laboratory research team is working on a number of candidates for advanced sensors. In particular, the use of metal nanostructures as nanoantennas for the concentration of light allows a huge increase in the efficiency of standard spectroscopic sensors such as those based on Raman scattering (Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering - SERS) and infrared absorption (Surface Enhanced Infrared Absorption - SEIRA). The ultrafast spectro-scopic techniques available in the Eurofel Support Laboratory allow the research team to optimize such sensors by the use of novel materials such as nanoparticle decorated nanowires.
