Using Spectroscopic Ellipsometry (SE), the optical properties of Cu(In1−xGax)3Se5 bulk compounds, grown by the Bridgman method, were analyzed by varying x composition (0 ≤ x ≤ 1). Energy levels above the gap in the band scheme were determined by measuring the complex dielectric function  at room-temperature for energies between 1.5 and 5.5 eV using a variable angle of incidence ellipsometer. The transitions values E1, E2 and E3 were observed above the gap for different samples of Cu(In1−xGax)3Se5 alloy. When a gallium atom replaces an indium atom, one assumes globally that the levels related to selenium and copper are unchanged. Conversely, the levels corresponding to the conduction band are shifted towards higher energies. Thus, the gap increases as the composition of gallium increases. Spectroscopic Ellipsometry (SE) gave evidence for the interpretation of the choice of gap values which were compatible with that obtained from solar spectrum. Several other characterization methods like Energy Dispersive Spectrometry (EDS), hot point probe method, X-ray diffraction, Photoluminescence (PL), Optical response (Photoconductivity) were presented in this paper. The Cu(In1−xGax)3Se5 have an Ordered Vacancy Chalcopyrite-type structure with lattice constants varying as a function of the x composition. The band gap energy of Cu(In1−xGax)3Se5 compounds is found to vary from 1.23 eV to 1.85 eV as a function of x.
