Abstract :
Optical limiting mechanism in fullerene containing liquids and solid-state matrices, and suspensions of nanotubes and nanoclusters were investigated in wavelength range 0.3-1.315 mkm. Solutions of fullerenes C60 and C70 in toluene and CCL4 were studied. The optical limiting in fullerene-containing media was determined by two processes- the reverse saturated absorption (RSA) and optically induced stimulated scattering (SS). This study has developed several variants multi-stage schemes of optical limiters on the base of fullerene-containing systems C60-CCl4, C60-toluene and also at the suspensions of Astralene.
