A critical review of vapor pressure data for military, civilian, and homemade explosives,
explosive precursors, and explosive taggants is presented. It gives reference to a large …

Polyphenylenes (PPs) represent a class of conjugated polymers that have been used in
applications ranging from organic electronic devices, sensors, polymer film additives to …

We report detection and identification of trace quantities of explosives at standoff distances
up to 150 m with high sensitivity (signal-to-noise ratio of~ 70) and high selectivity. The …

The increased use of peroxide-based explosives (PBEs) in criminal and terrorist activity has
created a demand for continued innovation in the detection of these agents. This review …

The use of a tunable midinfrared external cavity quantum cascade laser for the standoff
detection of explosives at medium distances between 2 and 5 m is presented. For the …

Optical methods are well-established for trace gas detection in many applications, such as
industrial process control or environmental sensing. Consequently, they gain much interest …

Laser-Based Optical Detection of Explosives offers a comprehensive review of past, present,
and emerging laser-based methods for the detection of a variety of explosives. This book …

The development of sensors for the detection of triacetone triperoxide (TATP) has attracted
great attention. Here, we constructed a low-cost, portable, reusable, visible paper-based …

The performance of a photoacoustic trace gas sensor for the detection of acetone in N 2 and
synthetic air is reported. The sensor system utilises an amplitude modulated UV LED. The …

We report operation of tunable external cavity quantum cascade lasers with emission
wavelength controlled by an acousto-optic modulator (AOM). A long-wave infrared quantum …
