摘要：

In this work, we investigate the optical properties of different semi-conducting single wall CNTs (Sc-SWCNTs) using abintio simulations and the transfer matrix method (TMM). The simulated results are compared with spectroscopic experimental measurements as well. The real and imaginary parts of the refractive indices in near-infrared (NIR) from 1.2 up to 2.5 mu m are calculated, and then used to feed multi-layered homogeneous thin-film utilizing the TMM to calculate the reflectivity, transmissivity, and absorptivity of the Sc-SWCNTs thin-films versus wavelength in the NIR region. The spectral reflectivity is measured using an integrating sphere that collects the overall reflections diffused into the different directions and then couple it to a NIR spectrometer. The measured reflectance spectra shows good agreement with the theoretical predictions. The results suggest that Sc-SWCNTs thin films are highly absorbing over the NIR range due to the distribution of various bandgaps of the CNTs with different diameters.
