Abstract
A guest-host solid state device based on hybrid organic-inorganic materials and fullerene derivatives has been fabricated for optical limiting applications. Different 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane derived hybrid matrices have been synthesized to increase the optical limiting performances. These matrices have shown high laser damage fluences, low light scattering, good transmittance in the visible range and allowed to deposit 10–100 μm thick films per single layer. The C60 derivatives have been functionalized with Si tri-alkoxide terminal groups and have reached a final concentration in the solid matrix up to 2 × 10−2 M·l−1. A multilayer system with a bottleneck structure has been developed to optimize a laser protection device.
