Optical conductivity σ (ω) of CeCoIn 5 has been measured under high pressure to 8 GPa and at low temperatures to 6 K, to study the pressure evolution of the conduction (c)-f electron hybridized state near the Fermi level. At ambient pressure, CeCoIn 5 is a heavy fermion superconductor with T c= 2.3 K, and has moderately strong cf hybridization. σ (ω) at ambient pressure shows a marked infrared peak due to optical excitations involving the cf hybridized state. With increasing pressure, the infrared peak becomes broader, and its center shifts to higher energy. This result indicates that the large density of states of the cf hybridized state becomes broader with increasing pressure, and that the peak of the density of states shifts away from the Fermi level. Althouth such pressure evolution of the cf hybridized state had been widely assumed on the basis of theoretical consideration, the present optical result demonstrates it clearly and directly.
