51. From the direct output of the YAG laser at 266 and 355 nm the diameter of the beam was 0.6-0.8 cm (200-500 mW). The output from the dye laser was typically of smaller diameter, for example, 0.3 cm at 320 and 294 nm (100 mW).
52. A Surelite Continuum Nd:YAG laser was used with an output power of 350 mW, approximately 10-ns pulse length, 20 Hz repetition rate.

58. Quenching in this case refers to decay of an excited state by processes such as fluorescence, internal conversion, and vibrational relaxation where appropriate. The competing ISC is generally known to be an efficient process with aromatic ketones (reference [1]).
59. Under the conditions of the lamp/isoprene experiments, we were unable to detect any 2. This finding is a consequence of the very low type I quantum yield and the short irradiation times used for product-ratio determinations. However, as one referee suggests, in the presence of a quencher, synthetically useful quantities of type I products may be produced on prolonged irradiation with very high power (excimer) lamps.
