The electronic structure, total and partial density of states (DOS) and dielectric functions of BiTeI are calculated by using full potential-linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method in the framework density functional theory (DFT) with the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) by WIEN2k package. Our calculations show that BiTeI is a narrow band gap semiconductor with taking into account spin splitting at the band edges. In the presented article the relevant interband optical transitions are found and given the interpretation within a calculated band structure.
