TY - JOUR PY - 2010// TI - Forensic and homeland security applications of modern portable Raman spectroscopy JO - Forensic science international A1 - Izake, Emad L. SP - 1 EP - 8 VL - 202 IS - 1-3 N2 - Modern detection and identification of chemical and biological hazards within the forensic and homeland security contexts may well require conducting the analysis in field while adapting a non-contact approach to the hazard. Technological achievements on both surface and resonance enhancement Raman scattering re-developed Raman spectroscopy to become the most adaptable spectroscopy technique for stand-off and non-contact analysis of hazards. On the other hand, spatially offset Raman spectroscopy proved to be very valuable for non-invasive chemical analysis of hazards concealed within non-transparent containers and packaging.
