Abstract

Although Carbon-Black suspensions (CBS) have been studied extensively for optical limiting applications, the microscopic mechanisms responsible for their limiting behavior still remain unclear. To study the mechanisms leading to the nonlinearity, we have performed a pump-probe experiment coupled with plasma emission measurements. Time resolved probe transmission have permitted to differentiate bubbles from plasma effects in the case of Carbon-Black in CS2. Other effects are discussed in terms of limiting performance.
