The optical properties of glasses with composition xLi{sub 2}O(30-x)Bi{sub 2}O{sub 3}-70B{sub 2}O{sub 3}; x = 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 mol %, prepared by normal melt quench technique were investigated by means of UV-VIS measurement. It was observed that the optical band gap of the present glass system decreases with increasing Li{sub 2}O content up to 15 mol%, and with further increase in lithium oxide content i.e. x>15 mol% the optical band gap increases. It was also observed that the present glass system behaves as an indirect band gap semiconductor.
