Study of Optical Properties of Carbon Nanotube and Fabrication of Nano Fiber Optic for Optical Communication

Abstract:

The success of the developed nano-engineering technology will lead to a redefinition of optical device manufacturing and integration and the functional and economic displacement of traditional bulk-optics devices. The discovery of nonlinear optical properties of the Carbon Nanotube (CNT) has paved the way for the research and development of high optical non linearity in CNT based nano optical fiber. In this paper, a novel structure of our proposed high optical non linearity CNT based nano optical fiber has been studied. In addition, a mathematical analysis on a high third-order optical non linearity of CNT based nano optical fiber has been done.
