Abstract

At the Diagnostic and Metrology Laboratory (ENEA) is under development a stand-off apparatus for trace detection of explosive compounds. The system is based on the Raman technique due to the high discrimination capabilities. All the optoelectronics components of the apparatus have been carefully designed as well as their optical matching. The main goal will be to detect low trace components within the respect of the eye safe regulation.
