In this paper, we study the behavior of three-dimensional extremely-short optical pulses propagating in a system made of carbon nanotubes in the presence of an external magnetic field applied perpendicular both to the nanotube axis and to the direction of propagation of the pulse. The evolution of the electromagnetic field is classically derived on the basis of the Maxwell’s equations. The electronic system of carbon nanotubes is considered in the low-temperature approximation. Our analysis reveals the novel and unique ability of controlling the shape of propagating short optical pulses by tuning the intensity of the applied magnetic field. This effect paves the way for the possible development of innovative applications in optoelectronics.

The propagation of three-dimensional extremely short optical pulses (light bullets) with a Bessel cross section in a medium of carbon nanotubes placed in an optical resonator is considered. As a result of numerical calculations, it was found that such pulses propagate stably with conservation of energy in a limited region of space, including at large times of the order of 100 ps. Key words: extremely short optical pulses, nonlinear medium, light bullets, carbon nanotubes.

Precise fabrication of semiconducting carbon nanotubes (CNTs) into densely aligned evenly spaced arrays is required for ultrascaled technology nodes. We report the precise scaling of inter-CNT pitch using a supramolecular assembly method called spatially hindered integration of nanotube electronics. Specifically, by using DNA brick crystal-based nanotrenches to align DNA-wrapped CNTs through DNA hybridization, we constructed parallel CNT arrays with a uniform pitch as small as 10.4 nanometers, at an angular deviation <2° and an assembly yield >95%.

Theoretically investigated the propagation of three-dimensional extremely short optical pulses, the longitudinal Airy cross section in a medium of semiconductor carbon nanotubes under the conditions of an optical resonator. Using numerical simulations, it was found that carbon nanotubes placed in an optical resonator create an environment in which the pulse propagates stably and conserves its energy, and also makes it possible to control some properties of an extremely short pulse (velocity and shape). The calculations of the pulse dynamics were carried out at long times, on the order of 100 ps.
