Abstract
The nonlinear absorption properties of a glass–ceramic containing ferroelectric sodium niobate (NaNbO3) crystallites were investigated. Two- and three-photon absorption coefficients were determined using nanosecond pulsed lasers. The optical power-limiting performance for light beams at 1064 and 532 nm was dependent on the volume fraction of NaNbO3 crystallites formed during the heat-treatment process.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
