Several laser-pumped pulsed broadband THz time-domain spectroscopy (TDS) systems as well as one electronic frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) device recorded THz spectra in transmission and/or reflection. © 2014 SPIE.EnglishDetectionElectronic THz sourceExplosivesIdentificationPhotonic THz systemTHz cw spectroscopyTHz inspectionTHz time-domain spectroscopyError detectionExplosivesExplosives detectionIdentification (control systems)Optical pumpingSpectroscopyControlled conditionsDetection and identificationsFrequency-modulated continuous wavesLaboratory spectroscopyTerahertz technologyTHz sourcesTHz systemsTHz time domain spectroscopyTerahertz spectroscopyConference Paper10.1117/12.2050367
