In usage of ra­di­a­tion, it is im­por­tant to study the pro­cess of chem­i­cal ef­fects of ion­iz­ing ra­di­a­tion in a ma­te­ri­al. Pulse ra­di­ol­y­sis is a method to trace these rapid ini­tial chem­i­cal re­ac­tions by ion­iz­ing ra­di­a­tion. As a pump beam, we are using 5MeV elec­tron beam pro­duced from the S-band photo cath­ode RF-Gun. In nanosec­ond timescale pulse ra­di­ol­y­sis, it is re­quired the sta­ble probe light of a broad spec­trum. And es­pe­cial­ly in pi­cosec­ond timescale pulse ra­di­ol­y­sis, probe light should have short pulse width to use stro­bo­scop­ic method. There­fore, in order to de­vel­op a wide range of timescale ex­per­i­men­tal sys­tem, we have been de­vel­op­ing a Su­per­con­tin­u­um (SC) light as a probe light, which is gen­er­at­ed by non­lin­ear op­ti­cal pro­cess of short pulse IR laser in pho­ton­ic crys­tal fiber (PCF). As a re­sult, the SC light spec­trum is broad enough to use as a probe light. Then we tried to mea­sure the ab­sorp­tion spec­trum of hy­drat­ed elec­tron by SC light, we suc­cess­ful­ly ob­served good sig­nal-noise ratio data both nanosec­ond and pi­cosec­ond ex­per­i­ment with uni­fied pulse ra­di­ol­y­sis sys­tem. In this con­fer­ence, we will re­port de­tails of these re­sults and fu­ture prospects.
