Abstract

Abstract : Conventionally, the optical signal of individual carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is usually too weak to be probed under optical microscopes. By using a homodyne detection method, scattered light wave from the individual CNTs ( E NT ) interferes with the reference light ( E ref ), the intensity of carbon nanotube optical signal can be enhanced by two orders of magnitude, which makes it possible to acquire high‐throughput optical images and wide‐range spectra of individual nanotubes or horizontal arrays.
