From this, we calculate the linear absorption spectrum for arbitrary polarization directions of the incident light, providing insight into all optically allowed transition. We show that the transverse absorption peaks can be selectively excited with circularly polarized light and spectrally resolved in an axial magnetic field. 2013 eng 1098-0121 1550-235X10.1103/physrevb.88.035429 883 Liu, Hong, Stefan Schumacher, and Torsten Meier. “Selection Rules and Linear Absorption Spectra of Carbon Nanotubes in Axial Magnetic Fields.” <i>Physical Review B</i> 88, no. 3 (2013). <a href="https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevb.88.035429">https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevb.88.035429</a>.
