Breakthrough Discovery Allows Lasers to Detect Chemical Attacks

The recent specter of VX and Novichok nerve agents used in a busy airport in Kuala Lumpur or an apartment outside of London has highlighted the threat of chemical weapons outside of war zones and the need for extremely precise and accurate detection capabilities.

For years, the U.S. military and others have studied the use of lasers for chemical weapons detection without a satisfactory solution. But a discovery published this week in the journal Nature Photonics appears to provide a breakthrough. Konstantin Vodopyanov, a researcher at the University of Florida, along with his colleagues, has developed a method for finding chemical molecules in extremely low doses.

The method uses two midinfrared lasers to sweep the air in a process called dual-comb spectroscopy. The lasers can detect molecular vibrations whose optical frequencies are as distinctive as fingerprints.
