The action of pulsed high repetition rate UV laser radiation (2-nd harmonic of Cu vapor laser, λ = 271 nm, pulse duration 18 nsec, repetition rate 10 kHz) on proliferating and resting HeLa cells has been studied. The intensity of DNA synthesis changes after such kinds of irradiation for both types of cells. For proliferating cells DNA synthesis is suppressed, while for the resting ones stimulation is observed in the dose range from 0.05 to 5 J/m2.

When a protein finds its native three-dimensional structure from the unstructured amino-acid chain various processes spanning a large time range are relevant. To understand the mechanism of protein folding one needs to cover the entire folding/ refolding (U↔N) reaction on a structural level. In the case of RNase A, the main structural changes occur in the ms time range, that can be monitored with rapid-scan- FTIR spectroscopy combined with rapid mixing techniques. To induce unfolding we inject aqueous protein solution into a hot IR cuvette and record the time course of the spectral changes. A lag phase is found when the unfolding conditions are relatively weak, suggesting an unfolding intermediate.

The temporal evolution of a plasma formed by the interaction of a Nd-YAG 10 ns laser pulse with the surface of aqueous solutions of CaCl 2 , has been observed by analyzing the variation of the emission spectra of ions and neutral atoms in the time interval after the laser pulse, 500 ns T e using a Saha-Boltzmann analysis. The broadening of the resonance line of CaI at 4227 A was used to deduce the electronic density N e , with the aid of the semiclassical theory of Stark broadening. A value of T e ≈ 28000 K decreasing slightly to 21000 K, and an exponential decay for N e were found, with N e ≈ 1:25 × 10 18 cm -3 at 500 ns and τ e = ( 1200 ± 50 ) ns.

The Cs( 7 P)+H 2 → CsH + H reaction is studied in a crossed-beam experiment with laser-induced fluorescence detection of CsH products. The usual flux ( ≈ 50 mW / mm 2 ) which is delivered by the C.W. tunable dye laser used in the experiment is enough to saturate the absorption by CsH products. Then, by crossing twice the laser beam through the collision volume (counterpropagating beams), one realizes the conditions of saturated-absorption experiments: when the laser frequency is tuned to a resonance frequency of CsH products, a defect to absorption occurs for these products which scatter in the collision plane and a "saturation dip" appears at the center of the corresponding fluorescence profile. Application of this technique to crossed-beam experiments can lead to the selection of product molecules which scatter in any definite plane. A different geometry of the laser beams (bent beams) is proposed to select molecules which scatter in any definite direction: it could be applied to detect an asymmetry in the scattering of the products with respect to the collision axis, when a particular preparation of the reagents is realized.

Partial bridging of the o,o′ positions of the aromatic rings in quaterphenyl gave superior flashlamp-pumpable laser dyes. Alkyl-substituted carbon bridges gave superior dyes to those containing oxygen or alkyl-substituted nitrogen or silicon bridges. Dyes lasing in the 365–390 nm region with improved energy output, lifetime and solubility were discovered.

This paper provides an overview of the method of single photon ionisation mass spectrometry. A review of the theory of frequency upconversion using third-order 4- wave sum mixing in isotropic media and experimental results of third harmonic generation (THG) using a frequency tripled 355 nm Nd:YAG pump source are presented. Vacuum Ultra-violet (VUV) photons of wavelength 118 nm are detected in an acetone ionisation chamber. The emphasis of this paper is on the practical aspects of generating and detecting the VUV photons and using them for single photon ionisation (SPI) in the ion source of a mass spectrometer. Optimum gas pressures for THG in Xe and Xe/Ar mixtures are established. For a pump beam of well defined mode structure the optimum gas pressures are in excellent agreement with theory. The major loss mechanism is attributed to re-absorption of VUV by the tripling gas. SPI mass spectra of hexane and the biomolecule valyl-valine are presented illustrating the power of the technique.

A transient absorption and TR3 study of the reactions of triplet 1NN with trans-stilbene (tS) in solution in both non-polar and polar solvents is reported. In polar solution, 31NN acts as an electron acceptor whereas in non-polar solution only energy transfer to tS is observed. Moreover, at high concentrations of tS, the radical cation tS
