Abstract: We simply review the nonlinear optical process in organic materials which can be utilized in passive limiting devices.The mechanism of optical limiting for a self-defocusing processis examined.We experimentally investigate the nonlinear optical refraction and optical limiting characteristics of organic material,and the results are discussed.The analysis is useful in optimizing optical limiting behavior of devices based on self-action.
