Terahertz (THz), mid infrared (MIR) and near infrared (NIR) technologies for protection of critical infrastructures against explosives and CBRN

Terahertz (THz), mid infrared (MIR) and near infrared (NIR) technologies for protection of critical infrastructures against explosives and CBRN / edited by Mauro Fernandes Pereira and Apostolos Apostolakis.

Critical infrastructures are targets for terrorism and deliver a valuable vector through which the proliferation of CBRN and explosive precursors can be detected. Recent technological breakthroughs, notably in the field of near infrared (NIR), mid infrared (MIR), Terahertz (THz) and Gigahertz (GHz)...
