33. [14] Other devices for electronically measuring reaction quantum yields or fluorescence quantum yields have been described previously. However, each is significantly different from the radiometer described herein. For example, the system described by Baumann et al. [15] uses an excitation beam perpendicular to a monitoring beam from a UV-visible spectrophotometer instead of just one beam as used in our system. Furthermore, to our knowledge no system described in the literature uses a computer to control both the acquisition and the analysis of data. Finally, by using a commercial radiometer, our system is easily "constructed" by non-electronics experts. This feature in particular should make the present system exceedingly appealing to photochemists.

43. [21] A heavy black plastic sheet is used to isolate the light table from any stray light. Currently, the reference detector is not used. However, with an additional circuit board (available from Oriel), the reference data could be used to determine the lamp intensity at all times during the data acquisition.
44. [22] For example, a starting wavelength of 0.00 nm, an end wavelength of 120.0 nm, a wavelength interval of 1.20 nm and a wait time of 12 s results in 10 s for every wavelength. Therefore the end wavelength is equal to irradiation for 1200 s.
