Disclosed herein describes an SERS sensing substrate comprising upright metal nanostructures made by using oblique angle deposition (OAD) collocating with self-rotation substrate, wherein said upright nanostructures include individual upright nanopillars and metal/dielectric multilayered upright nanopillar stacks. The SERS sensing substrate exhibits higher and enhanced adsorption spectra for unpolarized incident rays in the visible and infrared wavelength regimes.

The invention provides a reflective phase retarder and a semiconductor light-emitting device including such reflective phase retarder. The reflective phase retarder of the invention converts an incident light beam with a first type polarization into the light with a second type polarization, and reflects the converted light beam with the second type polarization out.

An optical system capable of enhancing a specific polarization state of light beam comprises a polarization beam splitter and a polarization state converter. The polarization beam splitter separates an input light beam into a first light beam of first polarization state and a second light beam of second polarization state. The first polarization state is different from the second polarization state. The second light beam is input into the polarization state converter and converted to a third light beam having significantly much more components of first polarization state. The polarization state converter has a configuration providing total reflection or high reflection function. The configuration includes at least one anisotropic optical thin film that is disposed between an incident medium of high refractive index and a medium of low refractive index.
