isolated 2-nm-wide, 2-cm-long slit (aspect ratio of 107), representing a maximum intensity
enhancement factor of one million. Unlike resonant nanogap structures, a single, effectively
infinitely-long slit passes incident electromagnetic waves with no cutoff, enhances the
electric field within the gap with a broad 1/f spectral response and eliminates interference
effects due to finite sample boundaries and adjacent elements. To construct such a uniform …
