Sumario:We investigated four single crystals of K-doped BaFe[Formula: see text] As[Formula: see text] (Ba-122), Ba[Formula: see text] K[Formula: see text] Fe[Formula: see text] As[Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] 0.29, 0.36, 0.40, and 0.51, using infrared spectroscopy. We explored a wide variety of doping levels, from under- to overdoped. We obtained the superfluid plasma frequencies ([Formula: see text] ) and corresponding London penetration depths ([Formula: see text] ) from the measured optical conductivity spectra. We also extracted the electron-boson spectral density (EBSD) functions using a two-parallel charge transport channel approach in the superconducting (SC) state. From the extracted EBSD functions, the maximum SC transition temperatures ([Formula: see text] ) were determined using a generalized McMillan formula and the SC coherence lengths ([Formula: see text] ) were calculated using the timescales encoded in the EBSD functions and reported Fermi velocities. We identified some similarities and differences in the doping-dependent SC quantities between the K-doped Ba-122 and the hole-doped cuprates. We expect that the various SC quantities obtained across the wide doping range will provide helpful information for establishing the microscopic pairing mechanism in Fe-pnictide superconductors.
