Abstract
Femtosecond laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) has been shown to be effective in detecting TNT, RDX, and other explosive related compounds. We chose to focus on aluminum and glass substrates since these allowed us to study the effects of strong linear absorption for a metal and the multiphoton absorption for a dielectric. For the FLMS experiments only stainless steel substrates were used.
