Abstract

Optical power limiting and stabilization performance using a neat liquid crystal as an intrinsic two-photon-absorbing medium were demonstrated. The nonlinear optical properties and the effective two-photon absorption coefficient of this liquid crystal in its isotropic phase were presented. Good optical limiting and stabilization performance with this nonlinear material were obtained using ∼815-nm and ∼5-ns laser pulses.
