Представлены результаты исследования оптических свойств тонких пленок на основе оксидов индия и олова (Indium Tin Oxide, ITO) с одностенными углеродными нанотрубками. Метод. Тонкие пленки ITO напылялись на подложки стекла К8 методом лазерно-ориентированного осаждения. Этим же методом на поверхность ITO наносились одностенные углеродные нанотрубки. Для варьирования параметров границы раздела применялась перестройка средней напряженности электрического поля в процессе осаждения в диапазоне 100–600 В/см. Идентификация структур производилась методом эллипсометрии в спектральном диапазоне 200–800 нм. Для интерпретации результатов эллипсометрии тонких пленок ITO на стеклянных подложках К8 применялись совместно модели Коши (для подложек) и Лоренца (для ITO). Анализ границы раздела ITO c углеродными нанотрубками проводился методом аппроксимации сплошной среды и с использованием модели Лоренца с несколькими осцилляторами. Основные результаты. Показано, что при лазерно-ориентированном осаждении углеродных нанотрубок на поверхность тонких пленок ITO, согласно методу аппроксимации сплошной среды, толщина границы раздела ITO–углеродные нанотрубки варьируется в диапазоне 23–36 нм при содержании углеродных нанотрубок в диапазоне 30–64 % на границе раздела. Рост данных параметров коррелирует с увеличением средней напряженности электрического поля в процессе осаждения углеродных нанотрубок. В соответствии с моделью Лоренца наблюдается длинноволновый сдвиг пиков коэффициентов экстинкции и снижение показателя преломления границы раздела в видимой области. Данный эффект можно объяснить имплантацией углеродных нанотрубок в ITO. При увеличении напряженности электрического поля повышается вклад лазерно-осажденных углеродных нанотрубок в границу раздела ITO–углеродные нанотрубки, который сопровождается уменьшением показателя преломления в видимой области и длинноволновым сдвигом пиков коэффициентов экстинкции. Обсуждение. Полученные результаты свидетельствуют о формировании композитной структуры на основе ITO с углеродными нанотрубками, оптическими свойствами которой можно управлять путем изменения средней напряженности электрического поля в процессе лазерно-ориентированного осаждения. Указанные структуры могут быть использованы при проектировании элементов оптической электроники в случаях необходимости оптического согласования с соседними функциональными слоями. </p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The results of a study of the optical properties of thin films based on indium tin oxides (ITO) with single-walled carbon nanotubes are presented. ITO thin films were deposited onto K8 crown glass substrates using laser-oriented deposition. Using the same method, single-walled carbon nanotubes were deposited onto the ITO surface. To vary the parameters of the interface, the average electric field strength in the range of 100–600 V/cm was adjusted during the deposition process. Identification of the structures was carried out by ellipsometry in the spectral range of 200–800 nm. To interpret the ellipsometry results of ITO thin films on K8 crown glass substrates, the Cauchy (for substrates) and Lorentz (for ITO) models were used together. The ITO–carbon nanotubes interface analysis was carried out by effective medium approximation and the Lorentz model using several oscillators. It has been shown, that in laser-oriented deposition of carbon nanotubes onto the surface of ITO thin films, according to the effective medium approximation, the thickness of the carbon nanotubes-ITO interface varies in the range of 23–36 nm with the percentage of carbon nanotubes in the range of 30–64 % at the interface. The increase in these parameters correlates with an increase in the average electric field strength during the deposition of carbon nanotubes. In accordance with the Lorentz model, a long-wavelength shift of the extinction coefficient peaks and a decrease in the refractive index of the interface in the visible region are observed. This phenomenon is caused by the implantation of carbon nanotubes into ITO. As the electric field strength increases, the contribution of laser-deposited carbon nanotubes to the ITO–carbon nanotubes interface increases, which is accompanied by a decrease in the refractive index in the visible region and a long-wavelength shift of the extinction coefficient peaks. The data obtained indicate the formation of a composite structure based on ITO with carbon nanotubes, the optical properties of which can be controlled by the average electric field strength during the laser-oriented deposition. These structures can be used in the design of optical electronics elements problems in cases where optical matching with adjacent functional layers is necessary.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>ITO</kwd><kwd>оксиды индия и олова</kwd><kwd>одностенные углеродные нанотрубки</kwd><kwd>граница раздела</kwd><kwd>лазерный ориентированный метод осаждения</kwd><kwd>эллипсометрия</kwd><kwd>оптические свойства</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>ITO</kwd><kwd>single-walled carbon nanotubes</kwd><kwd>interface</kwd><kwd>laser-oriented deposition method</kwd><kwd>ellipsometry</kwd><kwd>optical properties</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Исследование частично поддержано грантом Российского научного фонда № 24-23-00021.</funding-statement><funding-statement xml:lang="en">Research was partially supported by the Russian Science Foundation, grant No. 24-23-00021.</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Dong W.J., Yu H.K., Lee J.L.
