Linear and non-linear optical properties of filled single-wall carbon nanotubes

Abstract

A new approach for modification of optical and electronic properties of single-wall carbon nanotube films via a gas phase filling of nanotubes with the stranger acceptor molecules (iodine, CuCl) is presented. The modified films are characterized by techniques of linear (UV-vis-NIR optical absorption and Raman scattering) and non-linear (pump-probe) optical spectroscopy.
