  • Abstract
    We show that a photonic structure composed of silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, and gallium arsenide layers can act as a reflective optical limiter at near-infrared wavelengths. The limiter transmits low intensity light while totally reflecting high intensity laser radiation, thereby protecting the limiter and the sensor from overheating and destruction.
