In order to develop a effected method to reveal the presence of explosive, numerous detection techniques have been studied that are capable of detecting explosives, The current study provides an overview of the present techniques like LIBS which is an atomic spectroscopy, and examined a new technique for detecting called laser induced fluorescence (LIF). LIF essentially measures the optical emission of the excited energetic materials by laser. The use of LIF has led to the discovery of unreported optical characteristics of some compounds that are exclusive to the individual material, like the phase shift and the modulation depth of the fluorescence signals.A high resolution spectrometer is used to record the fluorescence emission wave length for three types of explosive materials, These optical characteristics consist of fluorescence shoulders of the three samples in the wave length between (300 -370) nm .Using fast rise time photo multiplier and spatial amplification for the fluorescence signal enable us to detect the time domain fluorescence spectrum for three types of explosive materials (AN), (TNT),( C4) and other non-explosive material, this method used Carefully for 8m standoff detection, different type of substrate is examined to simulate the real scan, both the time domain and frequency domain is measured for efficient LIF spectroscopy that give us a total configuration of the tested sample. A library of a total time configuration for different type of materials spectrum enables us to develop a algorithms to distinguish between explosive and non-explosive material. Used to develop a recognition program to achieve high sensitive detection system.
