Argon fluoride laser

By comparison, the photolysis of Me4Ge with an argon fluoride laser at 193 nm yields trimethylgermane, ethane, methane, ethylene and layers of Ge as the end products209. These results have been interpreted as indicative of electronically excited Me4Ge undergoing preferential molecular elimination (equations 37a and 37b) over the dissociation shown in equation 36.

Polarized Raman spectra from the alkali fluorides LiF, NaF and CsF habe been observed with argon laser excitations by Evans and Fitchen 09). These spectra are of interest as an extreme test of lattice dynamics theories and polarizability models.
