Abstract

Optical power limiting processes in C₆₀ solutions have been measured in a double-pass geometry designed to produce high beam attenuation. Based on the concentration of C₆₀ and measured attenuation of laser fluence, it was found that, at high intensities, more than 100 visible (532 nm) photons per C₆₀ molecule can be absorbed during a single 7-nanosecond laser pulse. The requisite features of such efficacious attenuation mechanisms are briefly discussed and a model meeting the requirements is described.
