Title

Enhancement Of Nonlinear Self-Action In Cs2 For Nanosecond Optical Limiting

Abstract

The improvements in the performance of an optical limiter by using cascaded-focus design were analyzed. The set up consisted of a thick CS2 cell at first focus to protect the reverse saturable absorbing (RSA) cell at second focus. An aperture was placed in the focal plane and in front of the transmission detector to measure encircled energy. The analysis suggested that low linear transmittance was due to Fresnel losses and aberrations in the multi-element system. It was found that the transmittance was increased by replacing all lenses with AR-coated low aberration doublets.
