We measured the optical reflectivity of [001]-oriented n-doped Cd3As2 in a broad frequency range (50 – 22 000 cm−1) for temperatures from 10 to 300 K. The optical conductivity, σ(ω) = σ1(ω) + iσ2(ω), is isotropic within the (001) plane; its real part follows a power law, σ1(ω) ∝ ω1.65, in a large interval from 2000 to 8000 cm−1. This behavior is caused by interband transitions between two bands, which are effectively described by a sublinear dispersion relation, E(k) ∝ k 0.6. The momentum-averaged Fermi velocity of the carriers in these bands is energy dependent and ranges from 1.2× 105 to 3 × 105 m/s, depending on the distance from the Dirac points. These values are in agreement with the published data on Cd3As2. We detect a gaplike feature in σ1(ω) and associate it with the Fermi level positioned around 100 meV above the Dirac points. Finally, we compare our results with recent magneto-optical infrared data.
