Abstract. Optical conductivity of aluminium with of large roughness surface were measured by a spectroellipsometric method in visible, near infrared and near ultra-violet region of the spectrum. Aluminium foil was used as a sample. Comparison of the received results for rough and smooth surfaces of aluminium were performed. It is revealed that the absorption peak on the spectral curve of optical conductivity with a maximum near l = 0.8 mm for a rough surface of aluminium is considerably wider than for smooth surface, although it has less intensity. An additional maxima near l = 0.35 mm and l = 0.97 mm take place for rough surface spectrum. The broadening and additional maxima are accounted for the basis of consideration of model of a surface layer of rough surface of aluminium, as heterogeneous thin layer, in which plasma resonance, resonance of optical conductivity, and also the interaction of these resonances with interband transitions occur.

Keywords: resonance of optical conductivity, plasma resonance, large rough surface, absorption peak
