We report on the dynamics of the dielectric function of single-wall
carbon nanotubes in the 10-30 THz frequency range after ultrafast laser
excitation. The absence of a distinct free-carrier response is
attributed to the photogeneration of strongly bound excitons in the
tubes with large energy gaps. We find a feature of enhanced transmission
caused by the blocking of optical transitions in small-gap tubes. The
rapid decay of a featureless background with pronounced dichroism is
associated with the increased absorption of spatially localized charge
carriers before thermalization is completed.
