Carbon Nanotube Based High Resolution Holograms

摘要

The advancements in nanofabrication and microscopy techniques have provided us with great control over the fabrication of carbon nanotubes (CNTs),where we can engineer their dimensions, material properties and precise localization.Therefore, in recent years vast numbers of nanophotonic applications have been reported where the interaction of light with engineered CNTs arrays has been utilized to solve different challenges encountered by the optical industry. The examples being the usage of CNTs for optical imaging and sensing, as electrodes in display devices,for producing efficient solar cells,photonic crystals,and meta-materialsi Similarly one of the challenges faced by the state of the art holographic displays systems and spatial light modulators (SLMs) is the finite size of the pixels used.
