Abstract:

The absorption coefficient of light for intraband transitions involving acoustic phonons is calculated for arbitrary concentrations of free electrons. The frequency and temperature dependences of the light absorption coefficient for a ZnTe crystal were obtained.

Keywords:

absorption coefficient, intraband optical transitions, acoustic phonons
