Recently, it has been shown that nominally undoped Pr2CuO4 can become superconducting, being grown in form of thin films with T′ structure [1]. We have measured the temperature and frequency-dependent complex transmission coefficient of these films at terahertz frequencies. From the measured spectra, we have directly calculated the complex optical conductivity. Both components of the conductivity demonstrate a behavior typical for the HTS cuprates. The stiffness of the superconducting condensate is, however, quite low, leading to a large value of the London penetration depth (1.8 µ m). We discuss our results in comparison with literature data on terahertz properties of other HTS.
