Optical spectra have been investigated for the prototypical Mott-Hubbard (MH) insulators LaTiO 3 and YTiO 3, and their solid solutions La x Y 1− x TiO 3. The MH gap shows a critical variation with x or equivalently with the change of the one-electron bandwidth W. By an extrapolation of the rapidly varying MH gap with the electron correlation strength (Ũ= U/W), we could determine the relative distance of each compound from the hypothetical Mott transition point (U ̃ c). The band-filling dependence of the gap spectra has been also investigated for LaTiO 3+ δ/2 with the nominal hole concentration δ. The systematic collapse of the MH gap is argued, together with similar results on filling-controlled compounds Y 1− x Ca x TiO 3, in terms of doping-induced spectral weight transfer.
