Abstract
The far-infrared spectroscopy was used to analyze optical properties of PbTe single crystals doped with different amounts of Si. A dielectric function that takes into account the plasmon-phonon interaction was employed in the measured data manipulation. Two frequencies of plasmon-phonon coupled modes were obtained with the best-fit method, whereas the values for LO mode and plasma frequency (ωP) were calculated. The best-fit to the experimentally obtained spectra agrees very well with the theoretical prediction.
