The theory of free-carrier absorption is developed for quasi-one-dimensional semiconducting structures (ultra-thin wires) for the case where the carriers are scattered by acoustic phonons via the deformation potential coupling and the radiation field is polarised along the length of the wire. The absorption is found to be an oscillatory function of the area of the cross section of the wire and is enhanced over its bulk value in going to wires of decreasing cross section.
