Optical pulses in carbon nanotubes with strong electron-electron interaction due to impurities

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate electromagnetic pulse propagation in a medium with impurity carbon nanotubes, which are associated with the acoustic subsystem. The electron spectrum for the carbon system is obtained from the model that takes into account Coulomb impurities. Based on the Maxwell's and the wave equations for the vector of the medium displacements, we obtain the effective equations for the vector potential of the electromagnetic field and the component of the displacement vector of the medium. The dependence of the pulse shape on the various system parameters is analyzed.
