We review nonlinear optical processes in various materials which can be utilized in passive
optical limiting devices. Specifically, the mechanisms of reverse saturable absorption, two …

All-optical limiting devices are based on materials enabling light to control light, possessing
a nonlinear optical response, and are reviving their popularity. One-dimensional photonic …

Examining classic theories, experimental methods, and practical formulas for exploration of
the core topics in nonlinear optics, the second edition of this acclaimed text was extensively …

Liquid suspensions of carbon act as optical limiters in the presence of high-intensity Q-
switched laser pulses. The optical limiting is a result of optical breakdown, which is initiated …

The optical limiting behavior of numerous nonlinear materials has been reviewed. Explicit
examination of non-linear mechanisms such as multiphoton absorption, nonlinear …

The nonlinear optical (NLO) and optical limiting (OL) properties of graphene oxide (GO),
reduced graphene oxide (RGO), and particularly GO/RGO coordination complex hybrids are …

A review is given of the current state of research on fullerenes, which are molecules
containing 60, 70, 76, 84, etc. carbon atoms arranged on the surface of a sphere or of a …

We have investigated domain clamping in ferroelectric single crystals of Bi 4 Ti 3 O 12 (BiT)
and (Bi 3.6 La 0.4) Ti 3 O 12 (BLT) using polarization measurements along the a (b) axis and …

Nonlinear optical absorption in solid films of poly (3‐octylthiophene)(P3OT) sensitized with
methanofullerene was investigated for wavelengths from 620 to 960 nm. The nonlinear …

In view of a possible application in optical limiting devices for protection against laser
radiation, at the Defence Research Establishment Valcartier we have studied the nonlinear …
