Abstract
We consider the propagation of 2D solitary electromagnetic waves and their scattering on a lattice of metallic inhomogeneities in the system of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The electromagnetic field is considered on the basis of Maxwell equations, and the electronic system of carbon nanotubes is treated by the Boltzmann equation in relaxation time approximation. We numerically analyze the derived effective equation and reveal an increase of spectral composition of the last electromagnetic wave. Some possible practical applications of the discovered effect are discussed.
