ABSTRACT:
Hydrogen and oxygen are generated by directing the output of a solar-pumped laser through a beam expander and a frequency multiplier to increase the frequency of the laser beam to the ultraviolet level. The frequency-multiplied laser beam is directed onto an anode and a cathode disposed in a reactor vessel. The anode is electrically connected to the cathode. An electrolytic solution surrounds the anode and the cathode. Hydrogen is evolved at the cathode, and oxygen is evolved at the anode.
