THz bandwidth optical switching with carbon nanotube metamaterial

We provide the first demonstration of exceptional light-with light optical switching performance of a carbon nanotube metamaterial - a hybrid nanostructure of a plasmonic metamaterial with semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes. A modulation depth of 10% in the near-IR with sub-500 fs respons...
