We probe and coherently manipulate the exciton population of individual semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) at room temperature using femtosecond laser pulse shaping microscopy [1,2]. In our experiment, the exciton state E11 of defect-doped (5,4)-SWCNTs is resonantly excited by a pair of phase-locked 20 fs laser pulses while the photoluminescence (PL) emission of the defect state E11D serves as reporter for the E11-population. Tuning the pulse delay and relative carrier envelope phase results in damped PL intensity oscillations that can be described using the Bloch equations for a two-level system.
We show that light absorption of individual SWCNTs can be controlled within their electronic dephasing time, ranging from 20 to 66 fs for different nanotubes. For longer pulse separations coherent radial breathing mode excitations with a
period of 90 fs are observed.
