Abstract

Several types of infrared sensors are based on sensitive focal plane arrays. In such sensors, the intensity will typically increase by a factor ~10⁷ at the focal plane, compared to the intensity of the incoming radiation. Such arrays are thus vulnerable when illuminated with high-intensity laser pulses. One solution for protecting the array against such pulses is to use an optical limiter. We here present results where carbon disulfide (CS₂) has been tested as an optical limiting material against high-energy laser pulses at 2.05 μm wavelength.
