Abstract :
A purified single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) sample was prepared in bulk especially without using a substrate in order to completely remove the effect of third harmonic generation (THG) from the substrate. Using the intense femtosecond laser pulses in near infrared, we observed relatively strong third harmonic generation (THG) in visible region only from SWCNT.
