The optical conductivity spectrum of Sr14−xCaxCu24O41, composed of two-leg Cu2O3 ladders and edge-sharing CuO2 chains, is investigated on single crystals with various compositions. Upon isovalent Ca substitution for Sr a rapid transfer of the spectral weight takes place from the high- to low-energy region, essentially in the same manner as that observed in the doped CuO2 planes of high- Tc cuprates. We identify this behavior as a consequence of charge redistribution between chains and ladders, and estimate the hole density in each structural unit from the transferred spectral weight.
