HIGH INTENSITY NANOSECOND DISCHARGES IN THE STUDY OF ELECTRO-OPTICAL AND CHEMICAL PROCESSES.
Abstract
The principal purpose of the work was to investigate the feasibility of using high intensity, ultra short time (nanosecond) discharges to study very fast electrooptical and chemical processes. A survey of the state of the art of flash photolysis showed that the availability of nanosecond spectroscopic light sources would provide a significant extension of the range of electro-optical and chemical processes presently accessible to study by flash photolytic techniques. The problem of adapting the Fischer nanosecond spark source for this purpose was therefore studied, and a series of experiments were undertaken to demonstrate the feasibility of using it as a spectroscopic source in flash photolysis. These experiments showed that in fact the Fischer source could be successfully adapted for these purposes. (Author)
