Abstract: The generation of slow surface plasmon polaritons in a single-walled carbon nanotube is investigated theoretically. A mechanism of amplification of surface plasmon polaritons is based on the direct transfer of electromagnetic energy from a drift current in the nanotube into a surface wave.
