Abstract

We have demonstrated a novel optical power limiter which can be used to limit an unstable pulse peak power with temporally smoothing in shape for CO2 laser pulses. The peak power of pulses was limited with 1.1% fluctuation for a 30% change of incident pulse peak power and the frequency of subpulse oscillation on a single pulse was over 30 MHz.
