| Abstract |
Optical fibre surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensors offer a potential solution for monitoring low chemical concentrations in remote or in situ sensing scenarios. The SERS effect relies on the interaction of analyte molecules with nanostructured metal surfaces. We demonstrate a nanoscale biotemplating approach to fabricating these sensors, using nanoimprint lithography to replicate cicada wing antireflective nanostructures onto the end faces of standard silica optical fibres. These SERS-compatible nanoarrays are coated with silver to make them SERS active, and thiophenol and rhodamine 6G are used as test analytes, from which strong SERS spectra are collected using both direct endface illumination and through-fibre interrogation. This combination of biological templates with nanoscale replication and optical fibres demonstrates a high-resolution, low-cost approach to fabricating high-performance optical fibre SERS sensors. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 22 August 2017.
All research outputs
#5,445,969
of 25,371,288 outputs
Outputs from Biosensors & Bioelectronics
#1,039
of 6,844 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#20,429
of 105,313 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Biosensors & Bioelectronics
#13
of 49 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,371,288 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 75th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 6,844 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.6. This one has done well, scoring higher than 75% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 105,313 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 72% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 49 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 48th percentile – i.e., 48% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
