An optical limiter is a device which has high transmittance for low inputs (energy, power, or irradiance) and low transmittance for large inputs. The devices which we have been investigating perform this task passively, exploiting the large optical nonlinearities of semiconductors. These devices have been reported previously. We have now improved these devices to obtain a combination of low limiting energy with high damage threshold.
