OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF INDIUM ARSENIDE IN THE INFRARED REGION.

Abstract

The reflectivities and transmittances between 5 and 20 microns of several indium arsenide samples were measured at 300 K and 77 K. These reflectivities and transmittances were used to calculate experimental free carrier absorption coefficients. Comparison with results obtained from classical dispersion theory shows poor agreement in both magnitude and wavelength dependence. The experimental results are, however, in good agreement with the quantum mechanical free carrier absorption theory of Haga and Kimura. (Author)
