Abstract The photochemical decomposition of aqueous phenyl diazosulphonate solutions by KrF excimer laser pulses at 248 nm is investigated. The present study complements earlier investigations (Franzke et al. 1991, 1992) of the photochemistry of this class of compounds induced by irradiation at 308 nm (XeCl excimer laser), and in the 370–390 nm wavelength range (dye laser pulses). From the comparison, conclusions with regard to the wavelength ...
