The effect of resonance states on the behaviour of the density of states ϱ( E ) and the absorption coefficient α(ω) is studied for a doped semiconductor having a special band structure. It is shown that if the photon energy is higher than the absorption edge (ħ ω > E g ) characteristic thresholds and peaks appear in the absorption spectrum, the magnitude and position of which depend on the impurity concentration n , the energy E r , and the width Γ r of the resonance levels, the effective masses m v and m c of the valence and conduction bands.
