Ultimately Short Optical Pulses in Carbon Nanotubes in Dispersive Nonmagnetic Dielectric Media

摘要

We consider Maxwell's equations for an electromagnetic field propagating in carbon nanotubes placed in dispersive nonmagnetic dielectric media. An effective equation having the form of an analog of the classical sine-Gordon equation was obtained and analyzed numerically. The dependence of the pulse on the type of carbon nanotubes, initial pulse amplitude, and dispersion constants of the medium was revealed.
