Single crystals of the CuIn{sub 5}Se{sub 8} ternary compound are grown by the Bridgman-Stockbarger method (with the vertical layout of the procedure). The composition and structure of the crystals are determined. The spectra of transmittance and photoluminescence are studied in the temperature range from 10 to 300 K. The transmittance spectra and the photoluminescence spectra are used to determine, correspondingly, the band gap and the energy of donor-acceptor transitions in the CuIn{sub 5}Se{sub 8} crystals. The temperature dependences of these parameters are obtained.
