Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) in combination with a conventional mine prodder is applied for remote detection of explosives and mine housing materials. High power subnanosecond laser pulses (pulse powerEp= 0.6 mJ and pulse duration Δt= 650 ps) at 1064 nm with a typical repetition rate of 10 kHz are generated by using a passively Q-switched Cr4+:Nd3+:YAG microchip-laser as seed-laser for an Yb-fiber amplifier. In the present investigation, the ratios of “late” and “early” LIBS intensities for the cyanide (CN) plasma emission at 388 nm and for the C-emission at 248 nm are used for data analysis. This allows the classification of different explosives and mine casing materials under real time conditions and also similar applications to materials processing.

<p class="p1">We report the ‘standoff detection’ of explosives at 1 m in laboratory conditions, for the first time in India, using Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy combined with multivariate analysis. The spectra of a set of five secondary explosives were recorded at a distance of 1 m from the focusing as well as collection optics. The plasma characteristics viz., plasma temperature and electron density were estimated from Boltzmann statistics and Stark broadening respectively. Plasma temperature was estimated to be of the order of (10.9 ± 2.1) .103 K and electron density of (3.9 ± 0.5) .1016 cm-3. Using a ratiometric approach, C/H and H/O ratios showed a good correlation with the actual stoichiometric ratios and a partial identification success could be achieved. Finally employing principle component analysis, an excellent classification could be attained.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
