  The detection of delayed X-ray, optical and radio emission, "afterglow",
associated with $\gamma$-ray bursts (GRBs) is consistent with fireball models,
where the emission are produced by relativistic expanding blast wave, driven by
expanding fireball at cosmogical distances. The emission mechanisms of GRB
afterglow have been discussed by many authors and synchrotron radiation is
believed to be the main mechanism. The observations show that the optical light
curves of two observed gamma-ray bursts, GRB970228 and GRB GRB970508, can be
described by a simple power law, which seems to support the synchrotron
radiation explanation. However, here we shall show that under some
circumstances, the inverse Compton scattering (ICS) may play an important role
in emission spectrum and this may influence the temporal properties of GRB
afterglow. We expect that the light curves of GRB afterglow may consist of
multi-components, which depends on the fireball parameters.
