Abstract :
The present work reports on detection of explosives substances (NG, TNT, RDX) in subTHz and midIR, based on registration of certain marker-molecules evaporated from surfaces of samples. Experimental results of both methods are in good agreement and have demonstrated a presence of nitric oxides, ammonia, acetone, etc in explosives vapors.
