With a static experiment, the laser tended to gouge a hole in the graphite rod, so that the plume of carbon atoms did not have ready access to the entire cell volume's worth of reactants. Therefore, the reaction area also was not directly in the path of the FT-IR beam. Studies in which the 308-nm laser beam was moved once in the middle of the experiment confirmed that significantly higher degradation yields, on the order of 40%, could be obtained via this method.
