Abstract

Efficient collection of the scattered light from adsorbates on silver in the attenuated total reflection configuration is demonstrated with a so-called Weierstrass prism. The Raman signal from carbon contamination on silver films is enhanced by two orders of magnitude with respect to the simple external backscattering configuration.
