Sr. Mishra et al., ON THE CONTRIBUTION OF NONLINEAR SCATTERING TO OPTICAL LIMITING IN C-60 SOLUTION, Applied physics A: Materials science & processing, 63(3), 1996, pp. 223-226
We present experimental results which bring out the contribution of no
nlinear scattering to the energy limiting of 527 nm, 30 ns pulses in C
-60 solution. To perform these measurements we used a specific experim
ental arrangement to separate the effects of nonlinear refraction and
scattering. Our results show that scattering reduces the output signif
icantly and contributes to limiting in C-60 solution.
