Abstract The reflectivities of seven films belonging to the Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O family, with Tc ranging from 60 to 95 K, and of a single crystal of insulating Bi-Sr-Y-Cu-O, have been measured at room temperature in the normal phase. The optical conductivity has been analyzed in terms of Drude (D), mid-infrared (MIR), and charge-transfer (CT) contributions. As Tc increases, the spectral weight within the charge-transfer gap (D+MIR) increases. Meanwhile, the peak frequency of the MIR band moves towards the far-infrared and the optical conductivity becomes more similar to that of a “normal” metal.
