Two standoff detection systems were assembled using an infrared telescope coupled to a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, a cryocooled mercury-cadmium telluride detector, and a telescope-coupled midinfrared excitation source. Samples of the highly energetic materials (HEMs) 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) and pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) were deposited on aluminum plates and detected at several source-target distances by carrying out remote infrared spectroscopy (RIRS) measurements on the aluminum substrates in active mode. The samples tested were placed at 1–30 m for the RIRS detection experiments. The effect of the angle of incidence/collection of the IR beams on the vibrational band intensities and the signal-to-noise ratios (S/N) were investigated. Experiments were performed at ambient temperature. Surface concentrations from 50 to 400 μg/cm2 were studied. Partial least squares regression analysis was applied to the spectra obtained. Overall, RIRS detection in active mode was useful for quantifying the HEMs deposited on the aluminum plates with a high confidence level up to the target-collector distances of 1–25 m.

Computational Procedures

Research-quality far-infrared photoacoustic (PA) spectra are obtainable with a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, the only changes with respect to conventional mid-infrared PA spectroscopy being the use of (1) a caesium iodide or polyethylene window on the PA cell, and (2) a mylar beamsplitter. Far-infrared PA spectra of several solids (bentonite, Fe+3-bentonite, and asbestos), in addition to the PA reference carbon black, have been recorded in this way. In order to improve signal-to-noise ratios in one of the spectra, we recorded ten interferograms under identical conditions; it was found that the average of the ten individually calculated spectra displays less noise and fewer spurious features than the spectrum obtained by first averaging the interferograms and then calculating a single spectrum. The results of this investigation demonstrate the feasibility of far-infrared PA spectroscopy, and illustrate that both experimental and computational procedures should be optimized in order to obtain the most satisfactory spectra.

The Continuum

AbstractWe previously reported discovering that blazars have distinctive infrared colors as seen in the WISE mission. Of particular note are γ-ray blazars, the locus of whose colors roughly overlaps with QSOs contours but which is more tightly delimited and bluer than ULIRGs and Seyferts. Since a large fraction of γ-ray sources are unassociated with any point source, but are expected to be blazars, identifying a WISE-candidate blazar in the γ-ray source field enables efficient followup studies. In an effort to better understand why blazars have these colors, we reduced and analyzed Spitzer Infrared Spectrometer (IRS) measurements on 73 blazars of varying types, some at several epochs. These spectra can be used to study the continuum emission (non-thermal), and search for atomic or other spectral features.

The objective of this work was to explore the relative value of near- and mid-infrared diffused reflectance spectroscopy in determining the composition of forages and by-products. Sixty-seven samples consisting of 15 alfalfa, 16 tall fescue and 15 orchard grass hays, 10 corn stovers and 11 wheat straws at various stages of maturity were examined by diffuse reflectance using a scanning monochromator (1100–2500 nm), a Fourier near infrared spectrometer (10,000–4000 cm−1, 4 and 16 cm−1 resolution, neat and 5% sample in KBr) and a Fourier mid-infrared spectrometer (4000–400 cm−1, 4 and 16 cm−1 resolution, neat and 5% sample in KBr). Samples were analysed chemically and spectroscopically for fibres, in vitro digestibility, crude protein, nitrobenzene oxidation products and various measures of lignin content. The results showed that diffuse mid-infrared reflectance spectroscopy can perform as well as, and sometimes better than, diffuse near infrared spectroscopy in determining the composition of forages and by-products. In addition, Fourier near infrared spectroscopy did not perform as well as either near infrared using a scanning monochromator or the Fourier mid-infrared spectrometer. Finally, diluting samples with KBr was not beneficial for either Fourier based determinations. Additional work with more diverse data sets and various Fourier instrument configurations will be needed to further define the limits and usefulness of Fourier transform near- and mid-infrared spectroscopy in the determination of forage and by-product composition.
