Evidence for the bonded exciplex intermediate has been given in studies of steric and Coulombic effects on the quenching rate constants and from extensive Discrete Fourier Transform computations that show a curve crossing between the ground state and the low-energy bonded exciplex state.
-- Excimer laser light is typically absorbed within under a millionth of a meter (nanometer) of tissue. * * *a millionth of a meter is a micrometer, a billionth of a meter is a nanometer. Which one is it?* * *-->In 1980–1983, Rangaswamy Srinivasan, Samuel Blum and James Wynne at IBM’s T. J. Watson Research Center observed the effect of the ultraviolet excimer laser on biological materials.
Lower-energy femtosecond lasers may improve upon the traditional excimer laser by reducing disruption of ocular structures, with intrastromal ablation obviating the need for the damaging epithelial incision and ablation currently employed in LASIK and PRK procedures.
The electrons then excite the gases whose excimer line is selected for the conversion of the radioactivity into a surrounding photovoltaic layer such that a lightweight, low-pressure, high-efficiency battery can be realised.
