Gaseous mixtures of methyl iodide and sulfur hexafluoride yield upon irradiation by a continuous-wave CO2 laser iodine, methane, ethane, ethylene and acetylene - the products of methyl iodide decomposition. The decomposition rate and the mutual ratio of the products is dependent on the delivered irradiation energy, the methyl iodide/sulfur hexafluoride ratio and the energy of the exciting photon. Methyl iodide-d3 in the mixture with SF6 behaves similarly as methyl iodide yielding perdeuterated methane, ethane, ethylene, acetylene and iodine.

The CO2 cw laser powered homogeneous pyrolysis (LPHP) of acetone, 2,3-butanedione and cyclobutanone (all 1.3 - 4kPa) sensitized by sulphur hexafluoride (0.7-1.3kPa) was investigated. The decomposition course of the ketones is analogous to that occuring under conventional pyrolytic conditions. The decomposition rate and the product composition are affected by laser power, partial pressure of the sensitizer, and the buffer gas (helium) added. Besiedes the conventional pyrolytic products, the LPHP of acetone and 2,3-butanedione affords acetylene and that of cyclobutanone produces acetic acid. A possible reaction mechanism of the decompositions is discussed.

The continuous-wave CO2 laser induced gas-phase decomposition of trifluoroacetic, pentafluoropropionic and heptafluorobutyric anhydride, sensitized by sulfur hexafluoride was studied in order to determine the course of the reactions in the absence of wall effects. The decompositions of all the compounds are assumed to involve cleavage of parent compound into acyl fluoride F(CF2)nCOF and .(CF2)nCO2. biradical, the latter undergoing decay into CO and F(CF2)n-1COF compounds. The theoretical treatment of the biradical by MNDO calculations as well as trapping with ethene are presented.

The continuous-wave (cw) CO2 laser induced decomposition of propylene oxide yields propanal, propanone and methyl vinyl ether as primary isomerization products. The absence of allylol and great amounts of ethene among products of ensuing fragmentation of primary products make the reaction different from conventional thermal decomposition of propylene oxide. CW CO2 laser induced decomposition of methyl vinyl ether affords propanal as isomerization product and shows thermal interconvertibility of propylene oxide and methyl vinyl ether.

CW CO2 laser induced reactions of 2-butene and 2-octafluorobutene with molecular ground state 3O2 oxygen in the presence of sulfur hexafluoride afford products that can be rationalized by means of the earlier proposed mechanism involving transient dioxetane and its cleavage into carbonyl compounds.

The cathodically and photochemically induced decomposition of thioazo compounds XC6H4-N2-S-C6H4CH3 and their polymers with X = NO2, COOH, and SO3H were investigated. The formation of carbon-centered XC6H4. and sulfur-centered .S-C6H4Y radicals was confirmed using spin-trap technique. These reactive radicals either abstract hydrogen from CH3CN solvent molecule forming .CH2CN radical or they recombine to cage products XC6H4-S-C6H4CH3 eliminating N2. The decomposition rate of the investigated thioazo compounds is characterized by a formal half-life time of 5 to 10 s.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) laser is widely used in commercial and industrial fields to process various materials including polymers, most of which have high absorptivity in infrared spectrum. Thin-film processing by the continuous wave (CW) laser is difficult since polymers are deformed and damaged by the residual heat. We developed the new method to make polypropylene (PP) and polystyrene (PS) sheets thin. The sheets are pressed to a Cu base by extracting air between the sheets and the base during laser processing. It realizes to cut the sheets to around 50 µm thick with less heat effects on the backside which are inevitable for thermal processing using the CW laser. It is considered that the boundary between the sheets and the base is in thermal equilibrium and the base prevents the sheets from deforming to support the backside. The method is applicable to practical use since it does not need any complex controls and is easy to install to an existing equipment with a minor change of the stage.

Cornea thermal damage due to incidental continuous wave CO2 laser irradiation is studied numerically based on bio-heat equation. The interaction of laser with tissue leads to a rapid temperature increased in target and the nearby tissue. As the temperature of the eye surface reaches 44?C, a sensation of pain will cause aversion response of the reflex blink and/or shifting away from the source of pain. The aim of the work is to predict numerically the threshold limit of incidental laser power that causes damage to the anterior part of the cornea, which can be healed within 2-5 days as long as damage is not exceeding the outer part of the eye (epithelium). A finite element analysis is used to predict temperature distribution through the cornea where the necroses region can be obtained using thermal dose equation. The thermal dose that required for damaging the cornea is predicted from previously published experimental data on rhesus monkeys and used later as a limit for shrinkage to human cornea. The result of this work is compared by international standard of safety and a good nearby result is obtained which verified the result of this work.
