The inverse Compton spectral power of the infrared source, which is optically thick to its own radiation due to the synchrotron self-absorption process, is calculated. A radio source of a single ensemble of relativistic electrons and magnetic fields is considered. These electrons emit synchrotron radiation, the high frequency part of the high frequency cutoff of which is observed in the infrared frequency range. A small fraction of the synchrotron photons suffers the inverse Compton scattering by the same ensemble of relativistic electrons. The scattered radiation is observed in the optical range. On the basis of this interpretation, the physical parameters of the infrared and optical source of 3C 273 are determined. A possible role played by the inverse Compton process is discussed for Seyfert-type nuclei.
