Abstract
We calculate the infrared conductivity tensor of a layered superconductor considering two different order parameter symmetries: strongly anisotropic -wave with line nodes, and pure () -wave. The calculations are performed within the quasiclassical theory of superconductivity and include the effects of non-magnetic scattering processes. We discuss to what extent measurements of the optical absorption can be relied upon to distinguish between these two order parameter symmetries.
