photoinduced
Caused by illumination
Photoinduced describes something caused or triggered by light.
The term appears in scientific contexts where light energy initiates a chemical reaction, physical change, or biological process: photoinduced electron transfer, photoinduced degradation of plastics.
A photoinduced reaction wouldn't occur without exposure to light of sufficient energy.
