Optimization of pore diameter, the placement of nanoparticles, and the transmission of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates are found to be very critical for achieving high SERS activity in porous alumina-membrane-based substrates. SERS substrates with a pore diameter of 355 nm incorporating silver nanoparticles show very high SERS activity with enhancement factors of 1010.
