(a) Amplification of Raman seed radiation at 675.7 nm (λpump = 632.8 nm; Raman mode of polystyrene at 1002 cm−1) with the full dye/resonator/plasmonic array system (
) and various combinations of the three components. The open squares (
) represent data obtained with the plasmonic surface and the microresonator but with the dye removed from the resonator surface. All error bars represent uncertainties of ±1σ in the measurements. The circular data points denote data obtained with the microresonator with dye (
) and the microresonator alone (
); (b) Data similar to those of panel a) but obtained for the λ = 654 nm Raman line of Biotin (or Si). Results associated with the dye alone, dye tethered to the microsphere and the microsphere (without dye) on the plasmonic array are represented by the diamond (
), triangular (
) and inverted triangular (
) symbols, respectively. Error bars again denote an uncertainty of one standard deviation.
