Abstract

Nonlinear absorption measurements were performed on fluorophosphate glasses with hgih concentration of tungsten oxide. Large two-photon absorption coefficients, α₂, were determined at 660 nm using nanosecond laser pulses. It was observed that α₂ increases for increasing tungsten oxide concentrations and therefore the optical limiting performance of this new glass composition can be controlled.
