Abstract

A new class of optical core materials that possess very broadband (400-700 nm) and large nonlinearities is presented. The fluid nature and the high optical nonlinearities of the isotropic-phase liquid crystals makes it possible to fabricate mm-thick fiber faceplates that could transmit good quality image, while serving as efficient optical limiters. These thin fiber arrays demonstrate optical limiting thresholds that are among the lowest of all the materials currently under investigation. They allow high operating dynamic range. Moreover, the core's liquid nature makes it capable of self-healing upon damage by the focused laser pulse.
