Polarization dependent transmission through asymmetric C-shaped holes
We report that asymmetric c-shaped holes show mode switching between single- and double-resonance frequencies in the terahertz region, when the polarization direction of the incident light is controll...

We have measured the infrared properties of optically transparent and electrically conductive single walled carbon nanotube thin films. We found that nanotube films with sheet resistance values of 200  [ohm sign]/sq show outstanding transmittance in the infrared range up to at least 22  µm, with an average transmittance greater than 90% over this range. The infrared properties of various materials were compared and we found that transparent nanotube electrodes and transparent graphene electrodes outperform the others in several key categories. This study opens another important application area for conductive nanotube thin films. ©2009 American Institute of Physics
