New results on solutions of Buckminsterfullerene in toluene as optical limiters with low limiting thresholds are reported. Limiting thresholds are as low as 15mJ/cm{sup 2} with multiple pulse stability. Evidence for a different mechanism than that operational in graphitic carbon black suspensions is presented. Calculated hyperpolarizability values are presented. The combined CW and Q-switched responses of this material and the promise of lower nonlinear thresholds has potential for application in optical protection devices ranging from welder safety goggles to safe surgical endoscopes.
