When viewed at frequencies below about 8 THz (250 cm ‐1 ; 30 meV) the ab ‐plane optical conductivity of the cuprate superconductors (in their normal state) is well described by a Drude model. Examples include optimally‐doped YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7‐δ and Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O 8 ; even the underdoped phases have a Drude character to their optical conductivity. A residual Drude‐like normal fluid is seen in the superconducting state in most cases; the scattering rate of this quasiparticle contribution collapses at T c .
