Gate-controlled generation of optical pulse trains using individual carbon nanotubes
In single-walled carbon nanotubes, electron-hole pairs form tightly bound excitons because of limited screening. These excitons display a variety of interactions and processes that could be exploited for applications in nanoscale photonics and optoelectronics. Here we report on optical pulse-train generation from individual air-suspended carbon nanotubes under an application of square-wave gate...
متن کاملControlled placement of individual carbon nanotubes.
A central challenge for both the science and the technology of carbon nanotubes is the controlled assembly of devices. Here, we report a technique that allows us to place a nanotube with the desired properties in a predetermined location by direct mechanical transfer. We demonstrate single-tube and multiple-tube transfer and electrical characterization of an optically characterized nanotube. Th...
متن کاملVisualizing individual carbon nanotubes with optical microscopy.
This paper reports a high-throughput, label-free technique to visualize individual carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on a silicon wafer using a conventional optical microscope. We show that individual CNTs can locally enhance the rate of vapor-phase HF etching of SiO2 to produce a SiO2 trench that is several to several tens of nanometers in depth. The trench is visible under an optical microscope due to ...
متن کاملGate-Controlled Superconducting Proximity Effect in Carbon Nanotubes.
The superconducting proximity effect in single-walled carbon nanotubes connected to niobium electrodes was controlled with the use of nearby gates that tune the niobium-nanotube transparency. At 4.2 kelvin, when the transparency was tuned to be high, a dip in the low-bias differential resistance was observed, indicating a proximity effect mediated by Andreev reflection. When the transparency wa...
متن کاملDouble-Wall Carbon Nanotubes for Wide-Band, Ultrafast Pulse Generation
We demonstrate wide-band ultrafast optical pulse generation at 1, 1.5, and 2 μm using a single-polymer composite saturable absorber based on double-wall carbon nanotubes (DWNTs). The freestanding optical quality polymer composite is prepared from nanotubes dispersed in water with poly(vinyl alcohol) as the host matrix. The composite is then integrated into ytterbium-, erbium-, and thulium-doped...
