Abstract

Terahertz Time domain spectroscopy (THz -TDS ) can provide the optical response of a medium in both amplitude and phase. We show that such capability can enable a detail analysis of optical properties of RDX sample. Such study is important for standoff detection of presence of RDX sample, where a detail analysis is difficult if not possible due to a complicated system involved and multiple effects involved. We proposed a match filter method for detection of RDX inside or behind a barrier.
