Abstract
  • Carbon nanotubes are the subject of intense interest in virtually every field, from medicine to nano-scale electrical components. Multi-walled nanotubes exhibit a strong nonlinear response to high-field strength terahertz radiation. This research uses terahertz pulses with field strength exceeding 1 MV/cm generated by means of optical rectification utilizing a lithium niobate prism to determine the complex refractive index of free standing highly aligned multi-walled carbon nanotubes wound around a polyethylene reel. Computational techniques are used to determine the index of refraction and extinction coefficient simultaneously as a function of frequency.
  • Keywords: carbon nanotubes, terahertz, index of refraction
