Development of Inverse Raman Spectroscopy for Probing Rapidly Decomposing Explosives and Propellants

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA104382 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The techniques of inverse Raman spectroscopy and coherent anti-stokes Raman spectroscopy are considered for the purpose of development of rapid single-shot broad band detection of species in rapidly explosively decomposing materials. Experiments using inverse Raman spectroscopy with pulsed ruby laser, broad-band dye, 1-M spectrometer and optical multichannel analyzer are described. Results on benzaldehyde neat and in mixtures with toluene yield information on the quantitative limits of inverse Raman detection.
