Temperature was measured by summing the blackbody radiation from 600 to 1100 nm measured with a thermal electronic cooled charge coupled devices (TEA/CCD512K, Princeton Instruments), taking into account the optical property of every component of the homemade optical system. A feedback from the CCD camera was used to stabilize the temperature of the fiber tip by regulating the laser output. This optical system allows simultaneous temperature profile (down to 300°C, with a systematic error <50°C due to uncertainty on the spectral emissivity of SWNTs) and spatially resolving (∼1 μm) the fiber in real time.
