Why is it important?

Standoff detection of explosives is very important for various security applications.

Perspectives

it is important to detect explosives standing at a distance (e.g. 10 m). Herein we demonstrate that using high energy femtosecond pulses which form filaments while they propagate and these filaments can be used for breakdown spectroscopy, which then permits us to detect different explosive molecules.
