title = "Stand-off detection of aerosols using mid-infrared backscattering Fourier transform spectroscopy",
abstract = "The spectrum of mid-infrared light scattered from an actively illuminated aerosol was used to distinguish between different chemicals. Using spectrally broad illumination from an optical parametric oscillator covering 3.2-3.55 μm, characteristic absorption features of two different chemicals were detected, and two similar molecules were clearly distinguished using the spectra of backscattered light from each chemical aerosol.",
