Revealing and understanding phenomena at interfaces is an important issue concerning biology, chemistry, engineering, physics, and many other disciplines. Science and technology at the nano- and micro-scale have myriads of proven examples where surface-to-volume ratio becomes dominant for process performance. Thereby, it is of great interest to pursue surface chemistry, tuning of energetic surface levels, control of trap states, or engineering of interface barriers among others, in order to overcome into stable and high efficient optoelectronic processes. We report simulations on surface-enhanced Raman resonators (SERRs) for microfluidic and nanofluidic applications. The process has its origins on the surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) phenomenon, where one main feature consists on the coupling between external electric fields with surface plasmons at strucutred metallic surfaces or colloids, resulting in strong local electric fields. The implementation of surface-enhanced reservoirs or enhanced walls at the fluidic chip, allow to acquire more intense signals of various spectroscopic probes, and hence to reduce the acquisition time.
