摘要
The performance of an optical limiter based on Pb-tetrakis(cumylphenoxy)phthalocyanine, a robust organic material with a large chi(3) and figure of merit, chi(3)/alpha0, is described. In an f/5 limiter with a sample transmission of 0.68, the threshold for limiting was 8+/-2 nJ and the dynamic range was greater than a factor of 10(3) . The threshold for the PbPc(CP)4 limiter Was approximately 15 times smaller and the high intensity transmission approximately 4-5 times lower than an equivalent limiter based on a thermal nonlinearity.
