Abstract

We present the expression for the free-carrier absorption in a multicomponent plasma, including the contributions from particle scattering, phonon absorption or emission, and impurity scattering. Numerical results are given for the absorption of an electron-hole plasma in silicon. It is found that the contribution from particle scattering dominates for high plasma densities and/or low photon energies.
