The discussion focuses on determining the diameter of carbon nanotubes required to emit a wavelength of 800 nm. Participants emphasize the existence of multiple radiation modes for nanotubes, which are influenced by both diameter and length. A key reference provided is the "Handbook of Nanophysics," which contains relevant data on nanotube properties. The inquiry also extends to the absorption range of these modes, indicating a need for further exploration of nanotube characteristics.

Thanks do you have a chapter on what range of wavelengths such a set of modes will absorb?tech99 said:There seem to be several modes for nanotube radiation. I found a useful reference as follows:-

One of the modes of nano tube radiation seems to depend on length, just as for a metal rod, but there are others to study.
