SAVELIEV I.I. BOBRINETSKY S.A. TERESHCHENKO S.V. SELISHCHEV V.A. SVETLICHNY In instruments of protection of human vision, optical components and sensors from the dangerous action of powerful laser radiation (LI) as working media apply the carbon nanotubes (CNT), which provides the broad bandwidths of intensity limiters. Object of the study is the non-linear optical properties of dispersed and composite materials based on CNT’s. the most promising methods of making such materials, as well as the results of studies in its composition, structure and optical properties are described. The descriptions of spectroscopic methods for studying nonlinear nanomaterials are presented. The data of studies of the properties of materials by atomic force microscopy and transmission electron microscopy are described. Ones are used to determine the nanocomposite bulk structure, which determines the magnitude of the nonlinear scattering and, therefore, reduce of the intensity of the light fl uxes used in LI limiters. The results of the research can be used in industries with a high degree of penetration of laser technology, which uses a laser welders and cutters, rangefi nders and designators, surgical devices, microscopes, spectrophotometers and remote sensing systems. Keywords: laser, intensity, nonlinear materials, nanodispersion, nanocomposite, carbon nanotubes.
