We report on original nonlinear spectral hole-burning experiments in ensembles of single-wall carbon nanotubes.We have measured the temperature dependence of the excitonic homogeneous linewidth from 5Kup to room temperature.We showthat the phonon-induced broadening in the weak coupling regime predominantly consists in pure dephasing.We present theoretical calculations of the exciton scattering rate due to phonon absorption within a one-dimensional framework for both excitons and phonons.We obtain a fair agreement with our experimental data andwe discuss the specific properties of the exciton-phonon coupling in single-wall carbon nanotubes.
