The onset of the silver azide simple destruction was experimentally determined. Three independent methods were used—comparative investigation of the explosive luminescence from all the experimental area and from the laser action area, investigation of conductivity and acoustic system response. It was shown that the simple destruction and the products emission begins in 20 ÷ 50 nsec after the initiation pulse peak.
