Abstract

We present infrared magneto-optical measurements of the c-axis conductivity of YBa2Cu3Oy in both the underdoped (y=6.67 and 6.75) and optimally doped (y=6.95) regimes. We show that modest c-axis magnetic fields radically modify the condensate formation and restore conventional BCS-like energetics. Additionally, we demonstrate the pivotal role of interplane coherence in the anomalous high-energy contribution to the superfluid density.
