InAs_{x}Sb_{1-x} alloys show a strong bowing in the energy gap, the energygap of the alloy can be less than the gap of the two parent compounds. Wedemonstrate that a consequence of this alloying is a systematic degradation inthe sharpness of the absorption edge. The alloy disorder induced band-tail(Urbach tail) characteristics are quantitatively studied forInAs_{0.05}Sb_{0.95}.
