Research abstract
This SBIR Phase I project will demonstrate the feasibility of a revolutionary Meta-Optic Fluorescence Probe (MOFP) for the rapid detection of improvised explosive devices (IEDs). This effort will focus on detection of triacetone-triperoxide (TATP) in its native solid form without the need for physical contact, sample collection, or intermediate we-chemical processing. TATP is an explosive of choice for terrorists and is notoriously difficult to detect using field deployable instruments or even dogs.
