- Abstract
Gold nanotriangles structured as honeycombs and fabricated by nanosphere lithography on a gold film are functionalised by thiophenol molecules in order to be used as plasmonic sensors in nonlinear optical sum frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy. The monitoring and the characterisation of the surface optical properties are performed by UV-visible differential reflectance spectroscopy showing an absorbance maximum located at 540 nm for p- and s-polarisation beams. SFG spectroscopy proves to be effective for thiophenol detection in ssp-polarisation scheme, while the molecular SFG signal disappears in ppp-configuration due to the strong s- d interband contribution of gold. However, in ssp-configuration, the vibration modes of thiophenol molecules at 3050 and 3071 $${\hbox {cm}}^{-1}$$ are yet observed thanks to the excitation of a transversal plasmon mode by the incident visible laser beam, whereas they are usually very difficult to distinguish by surface-enhanced Raman scattering and other vibrational optical probes.
