Spectroscopy and primary processes in the photolysis of iodides for iodine photodissociation lasers (review)
An analysis is made of the general laws governing the spectroscopy of diatomic and polyatomic iodides in the UV?VUV parts of the spectrum and their spectroscopic properties are compared with published data on the primary photolysis processes. Particular attention is paid to alkyl iodides and perfluoroalkyl iodides. An attempt is made to interpret the observed dependences.
