Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9307806A1] A system (100) for distinguishing among a plurality of materials is disclosed. The system comprises a laser (101) for producing substantially monochromatic electromagnetic energy (103), which impacts a substance (105). The substance (105) generates a pressure wave (107) characteristic of the identity of the substance in response to the impact. An analyzer (109) is operatively oriented to receive the pressure wave (107) and identifies the substance in response to the pressure wave.
