Optical properties and photonic devices of doped carbon nanotubes

摘要

Chemical doping of carbon nanotubes provides a variety of opportunities for tailoring the physical properties of carbon nanotubes.In this review,we discussed the optical properties of doped carbon nanotubes and the related applications as nanoscale photonic devices.The fundamental optical properties of carbon nanotubes with various chemical doping have been summarized.Novel optoelectronic and photonic devices based on doped carbon nanotubes,such as optical nonlinear materials,optical limiting devices,photovoltaic devices,etc.,have been discussed.
