OSTI ID:6779660
The differential Raman scattering cross sections of chemical agents (GA, GB, HD, and VX) and chemical-agent simulants (DMMP and DIMP) were measured with visible and UV wavelength excitation. These compounds were weak Raman scatterers with cross sections for the strongest lines on the order of 6 to 10 x 10/sup -30/ sq. cm./sr/molecule with 514.5-nm excitation. Excitation at 363.8 nm yielded only a slight preresonance enhancement of the Raman cross sections. Because of the small cross sections and the lack of enhancement, remote Raman detection of chemical agents appears doubtful.
