Surface-enhanced Raman Spectroscopy for Astrobiology Exploration on Mars

Abstract

We briefly reviewed the current knowledge of organics that may be present on the surface of Mars providing some clue as to what to expect in terms of meaningful detection. We briefly discussed the well known capabilities of Raman spectroscopy applicable to astrobiology exploration on Mars. Finally, details of potential limit to the implementation of SERS are discussed.
