Abstract
Nonlinear transmission of 80 and 140 fs pulsed light with 0.79 µm wavelength through single walled carbon nanotubes suspended in water containing sodium dodecyl sulfate is studied. Pulse-width independent saturation absorption and negative cubic nonlinearity are observed, respectively, in open and closed aperture z-scan experiments. The theoretical expressions derived to analyze the z-dependent transmission in the saturable limit require two photon absorption coefficient beta0~1.4 cm/MW and a nonlinear index gamma~−5.5×10−11 cm2/W to fit the data.
