The mechanism of the effect is explained as follows. When hydrated ions in the solution absorb photons with their high enough energies, they will decompose to naked ions and water-molecules. The naked ions can reach an anode or a cathode more easily and faster than the hydrated ions;It is possible that when a molecule in the solution absorbs a photon with its high enough energy, it will decompose to negative and positive ions.
