Abstract
We present experimental results which bring out the contribution of nonlinear scattering to the energy limiting of 527 nm, 30 ns pulses in C60 solution. To perform these measurements we used a specific experimental arrangement to separate the effects of nonlinear refraction and scattering. Our results show that scattering reduces the output significantly and contributes to limiting in C60 solution.
