The wave equation for two ultrashort optical pulses propagating in metallic carbon nanotubes is analyzed. The behavior of electromagnetic pulses during a collision is examined as a function of their initial amplitudes and velocities. In the interaction of pulses of different amplitudes, absorption of the pulse with the smaller amplitude is observed.
