The Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) has demonstrated its high efficiency to increase the Raman signal of chemical and biological species and to be able to observe and identify a very low quantity of molecules paving the way to the single molecule sensitivity. Its application to molecular detection is now intensively developed to set-up various kind of highly sensitive sensors. In this paper, we propose a review on the SERS technique and on its use as sensor for the detection of explosives, since it is of first importance in the framework of public safety. After a description of the SERS principle, we report on the different methods developed for such detection (substrates, detection principles…) and on the results obtained (targeted analytes, sensitivity, limit of detection…). We discuss all these results and compared them with other current analytical methods.

表面增强拉曼散射（SERS）已显示出其高效率，可以提高化学和生物物种的拉曼信号，并能够观察和识别非常少量的分子，从而为单分子敏感性铺平了道路。现在，它在分子检测中的应用得到了广泛的开发，以建立各种类型的高灵敏度传感器。在本文中，我们提议对SERS技术及其作为爆炸物检测传感器的应用进行一次综述，因为它在公共安全框架中至关重要。在对SERS原理进行了描述之后，我们报告了针对这种检测而开发的不同方法（底物，检测原理……）以及所获得的结果（目标分析物，灵敏度，检测限……）。
