Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy has been used to detect low levels of several chemical compounds, including the drugs of abuse -- cocaine hydrochloride and methamphetamine hydrochloride. Raman spectra of these substances have also been taken over optical fibers using red-wavelength excitation. These measurements demonstrate the feasibility of the remote red-wavelength excitation. These measurements demonstrate the feasibility of the remote determination of various target chemicals using diode excitation and diode array detection. 5 refs., 5 figs.
