Absorption and reflection spectra of InBr single crystal are measured at 2 K with polarized light. Dichroic exciton peaks are observed in the reflection spectrum around 2.33 eV. Binding energy of the direct excition for E ‖ c is estimated as (12 ± 1) meV. Indirect absorption edge is confirmed for E ‖ c by using a wavelength modulation technique. The indirect exciton gap is determined to be 2.129 eV. Absorption components associated with five different phonon energies are resolved, one of which is presumably due to a two‐phonon process. The binding energy of the indirect exciton is estimated to be (6.9 ± 0.4) meV. The indirect gap increases rapidly with increasing temperature.
