THz for CBRN and Explosives Detection and Diagnosis

Know about the book -

THz for CBRN and Explosives Detection and Diagnosis is written by Mauro F. Pereira and published by Springer. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 9402410937 (ISBN 10) and 9789402410938 (ISBN 13).

This work is intended to jointly address the development, realization and applications of emitters and detectors of terahertz (THz-0.3 THz up to 10 THz) and their application to diagnostics of CBRN effects and detection of explosives and CBRN. Hazardous substances typically exhibit rotational and vibrational transitions in this region, hence giving access to spectroscopic analysis of a large variety of molecules which play a key role in security as well as various other areas, e.g. air pollution, climate research, industrial process control, agriculture, food industry, workplace safety and medical diagnostics can be monitored by sensing and identifying them via THz (0.3 to 10 THz) and mid infrared (MIR-10 THz to 100 THz) absorption “finger prints”. Most plastics, textiles and paper are nearly transparent for THz radiation.
