N2 - Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have recently attracted tremendous interest as a nanomaterial for photonics and quantum photonics devices. Here we shall review recent work with a focus on quantum light properties such as blinking and spectral diffusion, and in particular, methods and techniques to suppress these detrimental effects with the goal of enhancing optical emission. Furthermore, we shall review recent work on the generation and detection of nonclassical light emissions from individual SWCNTs embedded in polymer cavities, and discuss the role of spatial exciton localization along the tube.
