  Optical limiters are designed to transmit low intensity light, while blocking
the light with excessively high intensity. A typical passive limiter absorbs
excessive electromagnetic energy, which can cause its overheating and
destruction. We propose the concept of a layered reflective limiter based on
resonance transmission via a non-linear localized mode. Such a limiter does not
absorb the high level radiation, but rather reflects it back to space.
Importantly, the total reflection occurs within a broad frequency range and for
an arbitrary direction of incidence. The same concept can be applied to
infrared and microwave frequencies.
