Nonlinear liquid-crystal fiber structures for passive optical limiting of short laser pulses

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Optical limiting of nanosecond and picosecond laser pulses through millimeter-length isotropic liquid-crystal-cored fiber structures is reported. Low limiting threshold and clamped transmitted outputs are observed. The underlying nonlinear mechanisms are nonlinear photoabsorptions and scattering and lossy waveguiding caused by laser-induced thermal-density index fluctuations.
