We believe the manuscript describes a significant development relating to the art state of real-time identification of hidden explosives. Comparative investigation between Stokes-Raman and FTIR spectra for different explosive materials. Correlation of characteristic IR absorption and Stokes Raman scattering to certain molecular vibrations Real-time identification of concealed explosives using induced Stokes-Raman scattering. Stokes-Raman spectra with intense characteristic peaks for concealed explosive identification.
