Polarization dependence of the optical reflectivity spectra of pentacene single crystals grown by sublimation have been investigated over a wide range of frequencies from the middle infrared to the visible range (5meV to 3 eV) at room temperature. Furthermore measurements with electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) in transmission have been performed on pentacene thin films. A series of optical phonon modes and electronic transitions have been observed. The determination of the electronic properties have been carried out in the energy rang from 1.7 eV to 2.3 eV within a Lorentz-model. In addition to previous studies we observed the onset of the optical absorption at 1.87 eV followed by a series of four excitations at 1.97 eV, 2.11 eV, 2.14 eV, and 2.28 eV. The results revealed that the dielectric function of pentacene single crystals shows a strongly anisotropic dependence in the ab-plane on the polarization of the incident light.
