The investigation in the photoinduced sensitivity enhancement (optical amplification) of photosensitive films containing an amine and CBr4 has shown that this effect is observed only in the presence of amine radicals (Am.). The optical amplification mechanism consists in the energy transfer from the high-excited state
of the reaction product (Am 1 + )  to the amine radical and electron transfer from the excited radical to CBr4.
