Abstract :
Theoretically expected frequency and temperature dependence of weak multiphonon bands at the far infrared absorption band edge are used to develop classical oscillator models of permittivity for several window materials (sapphire, ZnS and Pyroceram® 9606) which accurately model dielectric behavior from the infrared through the THz and into the microwave regions.
