AB - Abstract We study the propagation of two-dimensional bipolar electromagnetic pulses in an array of semiconducting carbon nanotubes. The electromagnetic field in such an array is described by Maxwell’s equations, reduced to a nonlinear wave equation. The initial field distribution is given in the form of the breather sine-Gordon equation, restricted by a Gaussian profile in a plane perpendicular to the direction of the momentum. The numerical solution of the wave equation shows the possibility of propagation of the electromagnetic breather in an array of nanotubes. We reveal the nature of the evolution of the breather’s shape and obtain the time dependence of its amplitude. We find that the breather, propagating in an array of nanotubes, is resistant to spreading and can travel a distance ∼ 10−3 ÷ 10−2 cm.
