Extract

The development of optical technologies requires the fabrication of reliable optical switching and limiting devices. Optical switches modulate the transmission or reflection of incident light, while optical limiters serve to limit transmission to prevent the transmitted light intensity from exceeding a defined level. A major application of optical limiters is to protect delicate sensors.
