Abstract

The first experimental investigation of an optical limiting device based on a suspension of spherical particles in a surrounding liquid is presented. The expected property is the non-linear light scattering based on a refractive index mismatch between the two components that appears at high intensity. Several experiments performed at 532 nm with nanosecond laser pulses provide good indication that such non-linear scattering is observed.
