Abstract

An improved scheme of z-scanning was used to study the parameters of nanosecond 1064-nm laser radiation pulses scattered at right angle under the conditions of optical limiting in an aqueous suspension of purified carbon nanotubes (CNTs). CNTs were synthesized by the electric-arc evaporation of graphite. It is established that the amplitude, shape, duration, and temporal position of the peak of scattered light pulses significantly depend on the laser radiation power density. The results agree with the mechanism of thermoinduced nonlinear scattering that is operative during the optical limiting of laser pulses in CNT suspensions.
