Single-nanotube photometry was used to measure the product of absorption cross section and fluorescence quantum yield for 12 (n,m)structural species of semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes in aqueous SDBS suspension. These products ranged from 1.7 to 4.5× 10-19 cm2/C atom, generally increasing with optical band gap as described by the energy gap law. The findings suggest fluorescent quantumyields of ~8% for the brightest, (10,2) species and introduce the empirical calibration factors needed to deduce quantitative (n,m) distributionsfrom bulk fluorimetric intensities.
