Research abstract
Physical Sciences, Inc. proposes to develop improved solid-state optical limiting devices (dual tandem and graded density limiters) incorporating reverse saturable absorber (RSA) materials. Optical limiting (OL) occurs when the optical transmission of amaterial decreases with increasing laser fluence. OL materials can thus strongly attenuate intense optical beams while keeping high transmittance at low-intensity ambient light levels (providing
