A Two-Dimensional Extremely Short Optical Pulse in a System of Carbon Nanotubes in a Direct Current Electric Field

The effect of an external dc electric field on the two-dimensional extremely short optical pulse propagating in a zigzag carbon nanotube array was investigated. The electromagnetic field evolution in the investigated nanotube system is described by the Maxwell equations. Using numerical simulation, the interaction between the pulse electromagnetic field and the external electric field applied to the carbon nanotube array is analyzed.
