The Raman spectrometers can be built as the portable devices and can be used in various places to detect illicit chemicals. This method has become popular due to deficiency of other fast methods that could be applied against terrorist attacks or could help police at their work. The Conception of a portable Raman spectrometer has been presented. The Description enclosures the presentation of the prepared device and its possible applications by presenting exemplary detection results.
