Abstract
In this work, we study the effect of the polymer on the dynamics of
extremely short optical pulses in a medium with single-walled zigzag-type carbon
nanotubes. Based on Maxwell's equations, taking into account pumping by an external
field and nonlinear absorption of nanotubes introduced phenomenologically, an effective
equation for the vector potential of the electromagnetic field is obtained. We reveal the
dependence of the characteristics of an extremely short pulse on the polymer concentration
and other parameters of the problem.
