Abstract
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.
