Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a popular technique that makes it possible to boost the otherwise weak Raman effect to levels that allow single molecule detection. A coherent, nonlinear equivalent of single molecules SERS is highly attractive, because it would allow the use single vibrational quantum oscillators with a narrow line width for a host of interesting applications. The translation of SERS into the domain of coherent Raman spectroscopy (CRS) has, however, not been trivial. This presentation zooms into some of the recent accomplishments in this area, highlights single molecule CRS experiments and discusses the possibilities of performing single vibrational oscillator measurements without the use of nanoscale plasmonic antennae.
