Abstract
The efficiency increase of photochemical reactions by a chirping laser is discussed. The optimal detuning rate is calculated for constant intensity pulses and for pulses with linear rise. Calculating a particular example for BCl3, it is shown that photochemical efficiency can be increased by an order of magnitude.Keywords
