This Technical Specification provides guidelines for the characterization of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) using near infrared (NIR) photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. This Technical Specification provides a measurement method for the determination of the chiral indices of the semi-conducting SWCNT in a sample and their relative integrated PL intensities. The method can be expanded to estimate relative mass concentrations of semi-conducting SWCNTs in a sample from measured integrated PL intensities and knowledge of their PL cross-sections.
