Solution of the Partial Differential Equations Describing Photodecomposition in a Light-absorbing Matrix having Light-absorbing Photoproducts

A solution has been obtained for the system of partial differential equations describing the photolysis of an arbitrary number of light-sensitive materials contained in a semirigid, nonscattering, actinic light-absorbing matrix. Each photoreactant may produce stable, actinic light-absorbing products. The solutions reduce to known closed form expressions for the simplest cases.
