39. Attempts to quantify this influence through the use of fluorescing organic dopants proved unsuccessful because all tested compounds were found to be photochemically unstable or to desorb at these laser fluences.

44. For Ar-substituted PMMA products, the fluorescence yields should be comparable, independent of the polymer chain size, so that changes in product distribution may not affect the total product fluorescence intensity much. At any rate, as shown, the influence of ablation/temperature increase on radical reactivity is so pronounced that differences in the product distribution are of secondary importance.

61. -2). The main error is introduced by the parallel increase in the substrate absorptivity, due to the accumulation of Ar-deriving and PMMA decomposition products. Thus, the condition of the optically thin sample is not satisfied after extensive irradiation.
62. The dependence on concentration may not follow the expected second-order law because a change in the NapI concentration affects, in parallel, the amount of absorbed energy and thus the extent of thermal decomposition of the polymer.

73. Strictly speaking, the term "cage effects" refers to the promotion of recombination. Here, we include the possibility that below the threshold, NapH fluorescence may be quenched by the counterpart, I (i.e., external heavy atom effect). For the purposes of this study, this "looser" use of the term is immaterial.
