Features of fullerenes and carbon nanotubes for nonlinear optics and display application

Due to the unique scheme of the energetic levels and high electron affinity energy of fullerenes and carbon nanotubes, these nanoobjects are widely used for different areas of application including laser and display techniques. In the present paper, the attenuation and switching of the laser beam has been shown, based on the features of electrooptical nematic liquid crystal mesophase under condition of the nanoobjects sensitization.
