随着现代激光技术和武器的快速发展,急需激光防护材料(光限幅材料)和设备来防护人眼和光学传感设备免受激光的破坏。由于高分子光限幅材料具有大的非线性光学性能、快速的光学响应、高的损伤阈值和好的加工性能引起人们的广泛兴趣。在这篇论文中,从分子结构以及分子结构对光限幅性能和光限幅机制的影响,对高分子光限幅材料进行了详细的综述,并提出高分子光限幅材料未来的发展方向。
With the fast development of modern laser technology and laser arms, there has been a growing need for optical limiting materials and devices to protect optically sensitive devices and human eyes from laser damage. Particularly, optical limiting polymer materials have also attracted great interest due to their distinguishing features, such as their large third-order nonlinearities, faster nonlinear response times, high damage thresholds, ease of processing and structural modification, and their applicability over a wide range of wavelengths. In this paper, recent advance of optical limiting polymer materials was reviewed in detail with an emphasis on molecular structure of polymer materials and optical limiting mechanism, and effect of molecular structure on optical properties of optical limiting polymer materials. The future development prospect of optical limiting polymer materials was proposed.
