  • Abstract
    This paper discusses the use of terahertz time-domain spectroscopy to build a database of the spectral signatures from common explosives in the range <; 5 THz. The effect on the spectra is demonstrated of common obscuring packaging materials which act to degrade the spectra obtained in realistic environments.
