Flash photolysis is a pump-probe technique, where you excite with short pulse light sources like flash lamp, lasers of nanosecond, picosecond and femtosecond pulse width. The technique was developed by Manfred Eigen, Ronald George Wreyford Norrish and George Porter, who won the 1967 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for this invention. Manfred Eigen (born May 9, 1927, Bochum) is a German biophysicist and a former director of the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry in Göttingen. ...

Flashphotolysis made it possible to observe and measure free radicals for the first time and also to study the sequence of the processes of reactants as they are converted into products.
Flashphotolysis is a technique used in studies of ATP and muscle cell physiology that enables investigators to exam the rapid (millisecond) actions of cross-bridging, and the role of ATP (and ATPases) during muscle contraction.

Photolysis is a part of photosynthesis, which occurs in the granum of the chloroplast.
In photolysis the light absorbed by the chlorophyll is turned into chemical energy which is used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen.
Photolysis also occurs in the atmosphere as part of a series of reactions by which primary pollutants such as hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides react to form secondary pollutants such as peroxyacyl nitrates.
