-
A new laser developed by Researchers at Michigan State University
-
United State Department of Homeland Security funded the research and it was published in the journal Applied Physics Letters
-
The laser has the sensitivity and selectivity to look into large areas and detect improvised explosive devices, which cause 60% of coalition soldiers’ deaths in Afghanistan
-
The Laser can precisely identify roadside bombs and aids recognize improvised explosive devices (IEDs)
-
The laser combines short pulses that cause molecules in the explosive to vibrate
-
Each type of molecule has special vibration frequency that exclusively find the material
-
But, the new laser can make differentiation even for amounts as little as a fraction of a billionth of a gram
