    Abstract: A system and method for the detection and identification of explosives and explosive residues using a combination of SWIR, Raman, and LIBS spectroscopy techniques, including imaging. A region of interest may be surveyed to identify a target area, wherein the target area comprises at least one unknown material. This surveying may be accomplished using visible imagery or SWIR imagery. The target area may be interrogated using Raman spectroscopy and LIBS spectroscopy to identify the unknown material. SWIR techniques may also be used to interrogate the target area. Fusion algorithms may also be applied to visible images, SWIR data sets, Raman data sets, and/or LIBS data sets.

    Abstract: A system and method for depositing a sample of a threat agent is deposited onto a substrate. A first optical collection device collects at least one of the following: elastic scattered light produced by the threat agent, and Raman scattered light produced by the threat agent. A second optical collection device collects Raman scattered light produced by the threat agent, wherein the second optical collection device comprises a two dimensional non-linear array of optical fibers drawn into a one dimensional fiber stack that converts a non-linear field of view into a linear field of view, wherein the one dimensional fiber stack is coupled to an entrance slit of a Raman imaging spectrometer. The threat agent deposited on the substrate is identified.

    Abstract: A set of spectral data is collected from a mixture and corrected to remove instrumental artifacts. The collected mixture spectra define an n-dimensional data space, where n is the number of data points in the spectra. Principal component analysis (PCA) techniques are applied to the n-dimensional data space to generate and select a subset of m eigenvectors that effectively describe all variance in the original data space. The members of a spectral library of known, pure components are examined based on this reduced dimensionality data space using target factor testing techniques. Each library spectrum is represented as a vector in the m-dimensional reduced data space, and target factor testing results in an angle between the library vector and the data space for each spectral library member. Those spectral library members that have the smallest angles with the data space are considered to be potential members, or candidates, of the mixture and are submitted for further testing. The spectral library members are ranked and every combination of the top y members is considered as a potential solution to the composition of the mixture. A multivariate least-squares solution is then calculated using the mixture spectra for each of the candidate combinations. Finally, a ranking algorithm is applied to each combination and is used to select the combination that is most likely the set of pure components in the mixture.

    Abstract: Raman scattering of radiation applied to a water sample is used to assess occurrence of a pathogen in the sample. The method is useful for detecting pathogens that are difficult to detect using other methods, such as protozoa. Examples of organisms that can be detected in water samples using these methods include protozoa of the genus Cryptosporidium and the genus Giardia. The methods described herein have important applications, such as for detection of Cryptosporidium organisms in municipal water systems.
