The intensity of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) signals is controlled using a SERS-active elastomeric substrate. When applied strain is varied, the separation of spherical gold nanoparticles deposited on the substrate changes, as conrmed by AFM. The observed change in SERS intensity with strain is consistent with a SERS \hot site" consisting of two spheres initially separated by less than 20 nm.
