The reflectivity spectra of Hg_{1-x}Co_{x}Se (x = 0.0, 0.024, 0.031) crystals were measured in the vacuum ultraviolet photon energy range from 4 to 12 eV to find the influence of Co ions on the valence band electronic structure of the HgSe crystal. The structure of the reflectivity spectra was interpreted in terms of the electronic band structure of the binary material (HgSe) assuming direct allowed interband transitions.
