Chemical reactions that occur on time scales of seconds or slower can be monitored using conventional equipment. However, many reactions occur on very fast time scales; for example on time scales that are a billion times faster than the blinking of the human eye. Understanding how these reactions proceed is essential for scientists to be able to alter them in a rational fashion. Laser flash photolysis (Lfp) is one of the primary techniques to follow fast reactions. Reactive intermediates are formed by laser irradiation and the kinetics are followed by changes in the absorption of the solution. The system at UVic was implemented in 1992 and urgently needs a new data acquisition  interface. Most of the detection hardware, such as monochromators, delay generators and oscilloscopes are in working order, but the computer and control software are obsolete. In the case of failure of the computer and interface the Lfp system will not be functional. Continued access to Lfp experiments is essential for the work done in the Bohne group on supramolecular dynamics and in the Wan group on mechanistic organic photochemistry, since the work of their students relies heavily on lfp experiments.

可以使用传统设备监测以秒或更慢的时间尺度发生的化学反应，但是，许多反应以非常快的时间尺度发生，例如比人眼眨眼快十亿倍的时间尺度。这些反应的进行对于科学家能够以合理的方式改变它们至关重要，激光闪光光解（Lfp）是跟踪快速反应的主要技术之一，反应中间体是通过激光照射形成的，并且动力学发生变化。吸收UVic 的系统于 1992 年实施，迫切需要一个新的数据采集接口，大多数检测硬件（例如单色仪、延迟发生器和示波器）都处于工作状态，但计算机和控制软件已经过时。在计算机和接口出现故障的情况下，Lfp 系统将无法运行。继续访问 Lfp 实验对于 Bohne 小组在超分子动力学和超分子动力学方面所做的工作至关重要。万小组研究机械有机光化学，因为他们的学生的工作很大程度上依赖于 lfp 实验。
