Carbon nanotubes in composite polymer guided wave mode device for ultrafast molecular photonics
Single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) show excellent optical and electric properties. Ultrafast optical responses of SWNT were studied by femtosecond laser excitation in solutions and thin films. Such properties can be used for all optical data processing with our composite polymer guided wave mode geometry based on transient change of refractive index or extinction coefficient.
