English We investigated temperature dependent optical spectra of the one-dimensional chain compound Sr₂CuO₃. The charge transfer transition polarized along the chain direction shows a strongly asymmetric line shape as expected in one-dimensional extended Hubbard model. At low temperature, the charge transfer peak shows a large blueshift and reveals additional sharp peaks at the gap. Even though many spectroscopic studies suggest that this material cannot have a bound exciton based on the one-dimensional extended Hubbard model, we attribute the additional sharp peaks to excitons, which come to exist due to the long-range Coulomb interaction.
