Abstract
Effects of the solvent on the optical limiting action of C-60 solution s are investigated under conditions of sequential two-photon absorptio n. C-60 transmission measurements are reported both at constant wavele ngth and at constant linear ground state absorbance for a set of solve nts using visible nanosecond laser radiation. The limiting action is s hown to depend not only on the ground state absorbance of the solute b ut also on the local field created by the solvent.
