Abstract

Optical multicolor imaging is used as a high-throughput statistical tool to determine the structure information of horizontally aligned carbon nanotube arrays on various substrates and in diverse environments. This high-throughput ability is achieved through the direct use of optical image information and an over 10-fold enhancement of the optical contrast by polarization manipulation.

Keywords: high-throughput; nanotube arrays; optical imaging; optical microscopy; statistical structure information.
