The optical properties of binary cubic compounds YSn3 and GdSn3 were investigated by ellipsometric technique. The frequency dependences of the dielectric functions are determined in the energy range 0.083-5.64 eV. The features of the dispersion of optical conductivity in the intervals of intra- and interband light absorption are analyzed in detail. The nature of quantum light absorption in the studied materials is discussed on the basis of a comparative analysis of experimental and theoretical optical conductivity spectra. Plasma and relaxation frequencies of electrons are determined. Keywords: intermetallic compounds, optical properties, dielectric functions, electronic structure.
