Overview
Topic status: We're looking for students to study this topic.
During recent years, the world has suffered many terrorist attacks by use of explosives and chemical warfare agents, such as the attack in London on July 7, 2005. These and other terrible events have motivated many countries to focus their research toward the detection of explosives, hazardous liquids, and chemical agents that can be employed by terrorist organizations as threats against troops and/or civilians. There is a need for sensitive and selective remote detection techniques for chemical hazards operating at ambient conditions, in situ and in real-time scale. Therefore, Standoff Raman spectroscopy provides a method for identifying chemicals in a sample located meters from the excitation source. The Vibrational spectroscopic technique 'Raman spectroscopy' is a non-invasive method that operate in the solar blind region and deliver molecular fingerprint information; thus, allowing for a fast and reliable analysis of. The objective of this project is to develop a proof of concept on stand-off Raman sensing and propose a design of the sensor at laboratory scale.
