Abstract
The temperature dependence of the c-axis optical conductivity σ(ω) of optimally and overdoped YBa2Cu3Ox (x=6.93 and 7) is reported in the far- (FIR) and mid-infrared (MIR) range. Below Tc we observe a transfer of spectral weight from the FIR not only to the condensate at ω= 0, but also to a new peak in the MIR. This peak is naturally explained as a transverse out-of-phase bilayer plasmon by a model for σ(ω) which takes the layered crystal structure into account. With decreasing doping the plasmon shifts to lower frequencies and can be identified with the surprising and so far not understood FIR feature reported in underdoped bilayer cuprates.
