We calculate the optical absorption spectrum of hydrogen-terminated silicon clusters by solving the Bethe-Salpeter equation for the two-particle Green{close_quote}s function using an {ital ab initio} approach. The one-particle Green{close_quote}s function and the electron-hole interaction kernel are calculated within the GW approximation for the electron self-energy operator. Very large exciton binding energies are observed. Our results for the one-particle properties and the optical absorption spectra of the clusters are in very good agreement with available experimental data. {copyright} {ital 1998} {ital The American Physical Society}
