A method is developed for calculating electric fields induced by photo
n radiation in a one-dimensional multilayer packer of dielectric mater
ials and calculations are performed. Analytical formulas are derived f
or calculating the intensity of electric fields in the case when a sho
rtened multilayer system is irradiated with radiation pulses neglectin
g the runoff of the accumulated charge. It is shown that the intensity
of the electric fields excited by the photon radiation can approach t
he breakdown fields for polymers.
