How light can vaporize water without the need for heat

"as water began evaporating, air temperature above surface cooled down, so not due to thermal energy... photomolecular effect: photons liberate entire molecules from liquid surface, effect strongest when light hits water surface at 45° angle, with transverse magnetic polarization, and/ or with green light... optimum color, angle, polarization, evaporation 4X thermal limit... drying consumes 20% industrial energy usage... significantly higher evaporation rates than known thermal mechanism... solar desalinization, material drying"
