The longitudinal optical phonon-plasmon interaction theory of Varga is shown to be applicable to Gadoped CdS through the region of the first reflectivity minumum (2.5 to about 30 μ). The theoretical reflectivity vs wavelength for several concentrations of Ga-doped CdS are compared with experiment. The agreement between theory and experiment is particularly good for high dopant concentrations. A plot of the wavelength at minimum reflectivity vs impurity concentrations shows that the Varga theory does well in explaining the data. When phonon damping is introduced into the Varga dielectric function, the reflectivity over the whole region of resonance is more realistic. Finite plasmon lifetime is not considered since no data are available for CdS.
