The propagation of three-dimensional extremely short optical pulses with the longitudinal Airy profile is theoretically investigated in a semiconductor carbon nanotube medium under conditions of an optical resonator. Using numerical simulation, it has been found that carbon nanotubes placed in the optical resonator create the medium in which the pulse propagates stably and conserves its energy, thereby enabling one to control some properties of an extremely short pulse (its velocity and shape). Calculations of the pulse dynamics were carried out at long times, on the order of 100 ps.
