Abstract
WE have just been able to demonstrate heating of some pH-indicator systems within a few nanoseconds. We had suggested such very fast heating earlier1. At that time we were only able to demonstrate heating by a ruby-laser operating in its normal mode, associated with a flash of 600 µsec duration.
