Abstract

The fundamental difficulty of achieving a coherently enhanced sensing method at standoff distances greater than 10 meters has been solved by single-beam coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering and by actively measuring and eliminating chromatic dispersion experienced by the broad-bandwidth (100 nm) laser pulses. Characteristic Raman spectra for several chemicals in gas, liquid, and solid states, are successfully obtained from a 12 meter standoff distance. The results obtained indicate this is a promising approach to standoff detection of chemicals, hazardous contaminations, and explosives.
