Abstract
Nowadays a lot of attention is being paid on the development of methods and instrumentation for detection of traces of explosives in the atmosphere. This necessity is caused by numerous cruel and inhuman acts of terrorism, which are being carried out throughout the world. Often terrorists’ attacks are carried out by suicide-bombers, who are usually indistinguishable from other people in the crowd. In this connection, methods of standoff detection of traces of explosives in the air are of particular interest, since they can provide the possibility of non-contact (secret) detection of explosives or a suicide bomber.
