"The work by Wang et al. suggests a host of applications in
optoelectronics, for example infrared polarizers or polarization
detectors, using arrays in which the MWCNTs have a range of
lengths, and wavelength-specific detectors, for which the MWCNTs
are fabricated to all have the same desired length. MWCNTs are
preferable to SWCNTs for their electrical metallicity and greater
mechanical robustness, and their random spacing in the arrays
suppresses interference effects. The preparation of the MWCNT
arrays could easily be extended to a high-throughput process with
the use of established technology. Over the decade-long history of
carbon nanotubes there has been substantial investment by the
private sector in nanotube research and development: the technology
devised by Wang et al. may well spawn optoelectronic applications
of considerable commercial significance." --M. S. Dresselhaus,
