Authentication and Testing of Banknotes Using Laser Multiphoton Electron Extraction Spectroscopy (MEES)
In laser multiphoton electron extraction spectroscopy (MEES), the photo-charges extracted from a surface by a pulsed laser beam are recorded as a function of laser wavelength. We report the first application of this spectroscopy to banknotes. Various banknotes from different countries, authentic and...

In laser multiphoton electron extraction spectroscopy (MEES), the photo-charges extracted from a surface by a pulsed laser beam are recorded as a function of laser wavelength. We report the first application of this spectroscopy to banknotes. Various banknotes from different countries, authentic and counterfeit, have been tested.
