Empirical formulation of broadband complex refractive index spectra of single-chirality carbon nanotube assembly.

ABSTRACT: Assemblies of single-walled carbon nanotubes with a specific chiral structure are promising future optofunctional materials because of their strong light-matter coupling arising from sharp optical resonances of quasi-one-dimensional excitons. Their strong optical resonances, which lie in the infrared-to-visible wavelength region, can be selected by their chiralities, and this selectivity promises a wide range of applications including photonic and thermo-optic devices. However, the broadband complex optical spectra of single-chirality carbon nanotube assemblies are scarce in the literature, which has prevented researchers and engineers from designing devices using them. Here, we experimentally determine broadband complex refractive index spectra of single-chirality carbon nanotube assembli
