Abstract
The optical properties of carbon nanotubes are overviewed. In carbon nanotubes, the exciton properties are essential for describing the optical processes since many special properties of the excitons, such as dark excitons or environmental effects, affect the physics of nanotubes in essential ways. Raman spectroscopy and other optical techniques for measuring electronic and phonon properties and the electron-phonon interaction are discussed in this chapter mainly from a theoretical point of view.
