Abstract:
Detecting threat materials used in explosives is performed by receiving a sample, and selecting an area of interest on the sample suspected of containing a threat material indicative of an explosive. Detection also includes interrogating the area of interest with a Raman laser producing a Raman spectrum, and comparing an amplitude of a first spectral region in the Raman spectrum to a first predetermined threshold. Detection further includes performing a verification, if the determination indicates that the area of interest includes the threat material, by checking the interrogated area of interest for a secondary indicator of the presence of the threat material, by comparing an amplitude of a second spectral region in the Raman spectrum, which is different from the first spectral region in the Raman spectrum, to a second predetermined threshold, and activating an indicator if the verification indicates that the area of interest contains the threat material.

Claim (Index 20):
A system for detecting threat materials used in explosives, comprising:\n a sample collector that collects a sample; a sample stage that receives the sample from the sample collector; an interrogation station that includes a Raman laser source; and a processor coupled to memory, where the processor is programmed to interact with the interrogation station to interrogate the sample and select an area of interest on the sample suspected of containing a threat material; wherein the processor is further programmed to interact with the interrogation station to:\n interrogate, with the Raman laser source, the area of interest thereby producing a Raman spectrum; \n \u2003determine whether the area of interest includes the threat material by comparing an amplitude of a first spectral region in the Raman spectrum, to a first predetermined threshold; \u2003perform a verification, if the determination indicates that the area of interest includes the threat material, by checking the interrogated area of interest for a secondary indicator of the presence of the threat material, where the verification is performed by comparing an amplitude of a second spectral region in the Raman spectrum, which is different from the first spectral region in the Raman spectrum, to a second predetermined threshold; and \u2003activate an indicator if the verification indicates that the sample contains the threat material.
