Abstract

The consistency of angle-resolved photoemission and optical conductivity experiments on high-temperature superconductors is examined. In the limit (apparently consistent with angle-resolved photoemission data) of an electron self-energy with a weak momentum dependence and a strong frequency dependence formulas are derived which directly related quantities measured in the two experiments. Application of the formuals to optimally and overdoped Bi2Ca2SrCu2O8+δ shows that the total self-energy inferred from photoemission measurements cannot be interpreted as a transport scattering rate (in agreement with work of Varma and Abrahams), but that the inelastic part may be so interpreted, if Landau parameter effects are non-negligible.
