Terahertz Spectra of Explosives Measured by Optical Parametric Oscillator-Based System and Time Domain Spectroscopy
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we report on measurements of absorption spectra of hexogen, penthrite, and octogen. The measurements were carried out by means of time domain spectroscopy and compared to spectra obtained from a setup, which bases on an optical parametric oscillator combined with a Golay cell. For time domain spectroscopy measurement, Teraview TPS 3000 unit with accessories in transmission con guration was used.

Wideband terahertz spectroscopy of explosives
Time-domain terahertz spectroscopy (TDTS) has been shown to be a promising tool in detection of explosives and explosive related compounds. To date, TDTS for many explosives has been limited to spectral regions <3 THz. With recent improvements in emitters and sensors of THz radiation, we report the THz absorption spectra over an extended frequency band from 0.5 to 6 THz for four explosives: RDX...

Terahertz range of electromagnetic spectrum (0.1 ÷ 10) THz has focused attention of scientists for years because of many interesting features including existence of spectral fingerprints of many materials (also explosives), through clothing imaging and safety for human being. Such advantages are of great importance for biochemical, defense and security related applications. Scanning of pure exp...
متن کاملOptical Pump-Terahertz Probe Spectroscopy Utilizing a Cavity-Dumped Oscillator-Driven Terahertz Spectrometer
A terahertz spectrometer capable of steady-state and time-resolved measurements over the 0.1–3.5-THz spectral region has been built. This spectrometer routinely produces and detects terahertz pulses that exhibit signal-to-noise ratios (SNR’s) greater than 6000 in the time domain and a spectral noise floor of magnitude 2.7 10 . Hence, the spectrometer achieves nearly four decades of dynamic rang...

As short range, ground based, surveillance systems operating at terahertz frequencies continue to evolve, increasing attention is being directed towards the behavior of dielectric materials at terahertz frequencies as well as the behavior of optical components used to control terahertz radiation. This work provides an overview of several terahertz optical components such as frequency selective ...
متن کاملCompound Explosives Detection and Component Analysis via Terahertz Time-Domain Spectroscopy
We present qualitative and quantitative component analyses on compound explosives via Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) based on a combination of wavelet thresholding and wavelength selection. Despite its importance, the field of signal processing of THz signals of compound plastic explosives is relatively unexplored. In this paper, experiment results from explosives Composition B-3 ...
