Abstract

We present the results of experimental and theoretical study of opportunities for improving of spatial homogeneity in the near field of Nd:YAG-laser radiation at (lambda) 532 nm by means nonlinear optical limiting of laser radiation, that take place in fullerene-containing medium (with C₆₀). A scope for the smoothing out a profile of generation impulse was studied. The experiments were performed with fullerene- containing composites C₆₀-solution. The mechanism of optical limiting is discussed.
