Abstract

In this paper, a scheme of compound optical limiting based on nonlinear material dissolved into Brillouin medium is proposed. Both nonlinear material and Brillouin medium used as the solvent play roles of optical limiting, so the proposed optical limiting scheme presents a lower output clamp value and flatter output energy compared with the single stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS). Compound optical limiting of F16PCCu/acetone is prepared and output energy characteristic based on it is studied in this paper. Both the theoretical and experimental results indicate that the output clamp value and output energy based on the compound method is lower and flatter than that based on single SBS optical limiting. Some properties of the compound optical limiting, such as limiting energy range, limiting waveband, response speed, limiting threshold and damage threshold, also are analyzed and discussed in the later part of this paper.
