We have studied ultrafast spectral diffusion (SD) within exciton bands of semiconducting single-wall carbon nanotubes (s-SWNTs) using one- and two-dimensional, near-infrared transient hole burning spectroscopy and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy at temperatures between 15 and 293 K. We find that inhomogeneous spectral broadening of 60 meV for s-SWNTs embedded in gelatin exceeds the homogeneous line width of 3.3 meV by over an order of magnitude. The experiments show that ultrafast spectral diffusion of excitons in gel-immobilized s-SWNTs on the 250 fs time scale can be attributed to axial intratube exciton diffusion. Comparison with kinetic Monte Carlo simulations suggests that the length-scale characteristic of the granularity of the axial potential energy landscape is about 24 nm.
