Abstract
We calculate the infrared conductivity of a stack of coupled, two-dime nsional superconducting planes within the Fermi liquid theory of super conductivity. We include the effects of random scattering processes an d show that the presence of even a small concentration of resonant imp urities, in a d-wave superconductor, has an important effect on both t he in-plane and c-axis transport properties, which could serve as sign atures for d-wave pairing.
