Abstract

We have obtained surface-enhanced hyper-Raman scattering (SEHRS) spectra of crystal violet, rhodamine 6G and Ru(trpy) (BPE)32+ adsorbed on gold and copper colloidal surfaces (where trpy=2,2′,2″-terpyridine, BPE=trans-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene). Our results demonstrate that the SEHRS effect is not intrinsically restricted to a Ag substrate and that surface enhancements at the emitted hyper-Raman photon frequencies are not required for observing SEHRS signals.
