AB - Vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VACNTs), also known as a carbon nanotube (CNT) forest, are a porous material that is well known for its exceptional optical absorbance property. The reflectance from a VACNT forest has been reported to be as low as 0.045% [1,2]. It is known as the darkest material on Earth. Because of its remarkable material properties, it has various other applications as gas sensors [3], pressure sensors [4], temperature sensors [5], and strain sensors [6]. Recently, various efforts have been made to mechanically manipulate the vertical structure of the nanotubes in the CNT forest and to conduct their optical characterization [7,8]. Optical reflection from bare VACNTs has also been investigated at different wavelengths by W?sik et al. [9]. Controlled densification by wetting of the CNT forest is another post processing technique that has been reported by other researchers [10]. A densification process is necessary to make the CNT forest useful as a future electronics interconnect [10]. However, no study has been done so far on the optical behavior of CNT forests densified by a wetting process. In this letter, for the first time, we investigate and explain the nature of the optical reflectance of densified VACNTs.
