Abstract
The unusual broad adsorption band in the infrared observed in the high- superconductors is explained as a consequence of the diffusive character of the higher energy states of a carrier moving in a Mott insulator. A good fit is obtained to the experimental spectrum of Thomas et al. with reasonable values of the input parameters.
