Optically-triggered optical limiters for short-wavelength infrared sensor protection

Wood, Michael G.; McKay, Alec; Morin, Theodore J.; Serkland, Darwin K.; Luk, Ting S.; Wolfley, Steven L.; Gastian, Loren G.; Mudrick, John M.; Jasperson, Ben; Johnson, Harley T.

We report experimental and numerical developments extending the operating range of vanadium dioxide based optical limiters into the short-wavelength infrared. Pixelated sensor elements have been fabricated which show optically-triggered limiting of a 2.7 µm probe.
