Low-Energy Lasers Produce Microplasmas for Spectroscopy Microplasma summoned out of thin air by low-energy laser pulses can be used as a source of broadband terahertz radiation for spectroscopy. Terahertz imaging needs only a narrow range of terahertz frequency to, for example, nondestructively look through layers of paint. But broader frequency range is necessary to differentiate the spectral "fingerprints" of various chemicals and identify threats...
