Paper Abstract

We have recently demonstrated a passive, picosecond, Si optical-limiting switch for 1 micron radiation. Since this device functions below, at, and above the Si melting threshold, its operating characteristics are determined by a large number of mechanisms including nonlinear transmission, self-diffraction, nonlinear reflection, phase transitions, and resolidification morphologies. Here, we review measurements in which we apply a wide variety of picosecond spectroscopic techniques in order to characterize these optically-induced phenomena.
