tie nano-antennas by integrating them on the lateral of a tapered optical fiber is proposed.
The device is driven by a Q-switched laser and the performance of a fabricated nano-
antenna in a quartz slide is tested by a Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS)
experiment. A refractive index sensing experiment is also performed and a sensitivity of
(240±30) nm/RIU is found in the 1.33-1.35 index range.
