Description

In this work the optical properties of arrays of gold nanowires in transmission and attenuated total reflectance (ATR) geometry has been examined further, with a view to maximising the sensitivity by finding optimum nanowire and array dimensions. Gold nanowire arrays were grown by electrochemical deposition into a nano-porous alumina template. The effect of changing the nanowire aspect ratio on the optical properties was investigated.
