A two‐dimensional array of gold optical antennas integrated with a one‐dimensional array of gold strips and mirrors is introduced and fabricated. The experimental results show that this design achieves average surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) enhancement factors as high as 1.2 × 10 10 , which is more than two orders of magnitude larger than optical antennas without the gold strips and gold mirror.
