Abstract We measured the residual absorption of a Bi2Sr2 CaCu2 O8+δ single crystal at low temperature in the frequency range between 0.6 THz and 4.2 THz using a new method, photothermal interference spectroscopy. By combining with reflectivity data obtained with a Fourier-transform IR spectrometer (frequency range: 3 THz to 100 THz) we have calculated the dynamical conductivity using a Kramers-Kronig-transformation. The results are compared with calculations of the far infrared conductivity and show qualitative features expected for a superconductor with nodes in the gap.
