A pulse radiolysis method is very useful in clarifying primary processes of radiation chemistry. At Waseda University, compact pico-second and nano-second pulse radiolysis systems have been developing. A pico-second system is based on pump-probe method. IR and UV pico-second laser pulses are generated from Nd:YLF mode-locked laser and used for generating of white light continuum as analyzing light and irradiating to photo-cathode RF gun, respectively. Recently, we have installed a new photo-cathode RF gun with Cs-Te cathode which has high quantum efficiency, so we have succeeded in improving optical density and S/N ratio of our pulse radiolysis system. We are now developing a new nano-second system which can get time profile with only one-shot and follow up wider time region than pico-second system. In the past, this system has been used He-Ne laser as analyzing light, but it can measure only 633nm. Instead of He-Ne laser, this system adopts Xe flush lamp which has broad spectrum as analyzing light. As system evaluation experiments, we tried to get time profile of some species. In this conference, present status and future plans of our pulse radiolysis systems will be reported.
