Anderson localization of IR light in 1D nanosystems
Abstract:
This contribution reports on the observation of a strong light localization of Anderson type in 1D systems consisting of ship-shaped carbon nanotubes. Such a localization of infrared (IR) light was observed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy under attenuated total reflection geometry within the spectral range of 2-20 µm. Such an IR light localization manifests itself in the form of a significant interference profile of the optical transmission over the full wavenumber range of 400-4000cm-1.
