The recent observation of cyclotron resonance in optimally dopedusing time-domain THz spectroscopy in high magnetic field has given new possibilities for the study of cuprate superconductors. One can measure the cyclotron mass in the more disordered cuprates possessing short scattering times, therefore expanding the study to materials and dopings in which quantum oscillations have not been observed. Here we present the measurement of the carrier mass of the hole-doped cuprateacross a range of dopings spanning from the slightly underdoped () to highly overdoped (), near the termination of the superconducting dome. These results reveal a systematic increase ofwith doping, up to values greater than 13 times the bare electron mass. This is in contrast with the masses extracted from the heat capacity, which show a peak near the pseudogap critical pointand/or Lifshitz transition. The cyclotron frequency is linear in field up to 31 T for all dopings, giving no evidence for field-induced Fermi surface reconstructions. The cyclotron mass is found to be positive for all dopings, but with a magnitude systematically below the heat-capacity mass for under and optimally doped samples, while exceeding it for overdoped samples. Among other aspects, these results are surprising as photoemission reveals a Lifshitz transition in the middle of our doping range and the sign of the cyclotron mass determined from a finite-frequency resonance is, in conventional theories, atopological quantityonly sensitive to whether or not the Fermi surface is closed around holes or electrons. We see no sign of a divergence of the mass nearnor near the Lifshitz transition, showing that any singularity, if it exists, is not strong enough to affect the cyclotron mass.
