Abstract

Various gases can be used to sensitize chemical reactions using a CO2 - laser [1] . Ammonia is convenient because it does not dissociate at doses up to ~ 1 J cm-2, and because there are several transitions near to resonance with the laser lines [2], Also the spectroscopy of ammonia has been carefully investigated [3]. To understand the mechanism of sensitization it is first necessary to know the mechanism of energy absorption by the sensitizer.
