ABSTRACT:
A system and method for depositing a sample of a threat agent onto a substrate. A single illumination source illuminates the threat agent deposited on the substrate with a plurality of photons to thereby produce elastic scattered photons and Raman scattered photons. The threat agent on the substrate is identified. The system and method operate in a trigger mode that detects the presence or absence of the threat agent, and an identification mode that identifies the threat agent.
