  In their Comment to a recent paper of ours [Lucarelli et al., PRL 92, 037002
(2003)], Tajima et al. (cond-mat 0303493) argue that the samples of
La(2-x)Sr(x)CuO(4) where we find far-infrared peaks below 150 cm-1 (which
suggest a charge stripe scenario) are not single crystals or are miscut. Here
we show that the spectral feature on which this criticism is based was found
both in floating-zone-grown crystals where the miscut was negligible, and in
flux-grown crystals where the surface is intrinsically a-b. Further arguments
are presented to support the validity of our data.
