Wavelength dependent Raman spectroscopy on chemical warfare agent (CWA) simulants

Kurzfassung

This study investigates the potential of Raman spectroscopy for the detection of four chemical warfare agent (CWA) simulants - Glyphosate, Triphenyl phosphate, Triethyl phosphate and Tributyl phosphate, using multiple excitation wavelengths. The aim of this work is to evaluate the influence of excitation wavelength on spectral quality and the practical usability of different Raman setups for CWA-related measurements. The results provide an initial assessment of wavelength-dependent performance, highlighting differences in Raman signal and fluorescence behaviour. These findings support the selection and optimization of excitation wavelengths for reliable Raman-based identification of CWA simulants
