In this paper, we report on measurements of absorption spectra of hexogen, penthrite, and octogen. The measurements were carried out by means of time domain spectroscopy and compared to spectra obtained from a setup, which bases on an optical parametric oscillator combined with a Golay cell. For time domain spectroscopy measurement, Teraview TPS 3000 unit with accessories in transmission configuration was used.
