Abstract
Optical absorption spectra are calculated in carbon nanotubes in the p resence of a magnetic flux parallel to the tube axis. A drastic change in the band gap manifests itself in optical spectra for light polariz ation parallel to the axis. In the case of perpendicular polarization, the absorption is suppressed by a large depolarization effect.
