The reflectance of La{sub 0.7}Ca{sub 0.3}MnO{sub 3} epitaxial thin films on perovskite substrates with a range of lattice constants is studied in the frequency range 50{endash}5000 cm{sup {minus}1}. The complex dielectric functions of the bare La{sub 0.7}Ca{sub 0.3}MnO{sub 3} films are obtained by modeling the measured reflectivity spectra of the two-layer La{sub 0.7}Ca{sub 0.3}MnO{sub 3}/substrate system with separately measured dielectric functions of the bare substrate. The results thus derived indicate that the internal optical phonon modes of the MnO{sub 6} octahedra are strongly affected by the substrate-induced lattice distortion. {copyright} {ital 1997 American Institute of Physics.}
