Elimination of bleaching in a material based on aqueous fluid with carbon nanoparticles for optical limiters

Abstract

The possibilities of correcting the functional properties of nonlinear optical limiters based on carbon nanoparticles using polymer dopants have been considered. The results of analyzing the characteristics of nonlinear optical limiting of a suspension of carbon black with addition of sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate and polyvinyl alcohol are given. The forms in which particles exist in the suspension have been investigated by different physicochemical methods. Optical measurements have confirmed the efficiency of these additives.
