Abstract: | Abstract— A computer-controlled nanosecond laser flash photolysis system incorporating a CAMAC interface system is described. The resulting system provides many benefits, particularly with regard to ease of operation and flexibility. The use of readily available, off-the-shelf components results in rapid installation, high-level language programability, expandability, and moderate cost. Transient absorption spectra of the benzophenone triplet, ketyl radical and ketyl radical anion in aqueous acetonitrile, demonstrate the utility of the apparatus described. |
