The authors report on a study of the residual absorption of high temperature superconductors (HTS) at THz frequencies. Using transmission Fabry-Perot interferometry, they determined both, real and imaginary part of the conductivity. They especially studied YBCO thin films. They found that the dynamical conductivity varied strongly from sample to sample. As a main result, they find that the absorptivity increases at frequencies above 1 THz much weaker than quadratically, i.e., the {omega}{sup 2} behavior of the absorptivity at microwave frequencies is not continued in the THz frequency range.
