Two-dimensional (2D) hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) are promising candidates for optoelectronic applications due to their efficient light emission properties, and strong dielectric confinement effects. Raman spectroscopy is a versatile, non-contact and often non-destructive technique, widely used to characterize crystalline materials. However, the inherently weak phonon scattering, strong background, and complex nature of the Raman signals from HOIPs present challenges in obtaining reliable signals. Further, the fragile nature of the 2D HOIP crystals results in rapid degradation upon exposure to heat, light and moisture, which presents further difficulty in enhancing Raman scattered photon signals. Herein, we report a novel approach to enhance the weak Raman scattering signals in Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) phase HOIPs by introducing an open-cavity comprising HOIP crystals on a gold substrate. We observe 15x enhancement of the Raman signals due to the Purcell effect inside the high-index HOIP crystals. Our simple approach can be extended to enhance the study of phonon scattering in other HOIP and van der Waals layered crystals.
