X theory is developed for a polarization mechanism of absorption of electromagnetic waves by polarons localized on impurity centres with an appropriate structure. The coefficient of this absorption shows a specific frequency (o) dependence both a t low and at high w and some basic features (at high o) similar to those for the high-frequency conductivity for small polarons and for the well-known resonance impurity polaron absorption.

The essential question whether such description is adequate for the hopping impurity conduction will be discussed separately elsewhere (cf. [14, 171): for (nearly) resonance impurity pairs ( z = 2), the theory presented here is adequate. 34 pliysica 31/2
