The electronic structures and optical properties of ZnO_0.875 were calculated by the ultra-soft pseudo-potential plane wave (pp-pw) method based on density functional theory. The crystal structure of ZnO with oxygen vacancies was optimized using first-principles. The electronic-state densities in pure ZnO and ZnO_0.875 were then calculated. The dielectric functions, absorption spectrum, refractive index, extinction coefficient, and reflectivity of ZnO_0.875 dominated by electron inter-band transitions were analyzed in terms of the precisely calculated density of state and the polarization dependencies of the optical properties were discussed in detail. Results indicate that the ZnO_0.875 crystal is a uniaxial crystal and exhibits some features in the low energy region, which are caused by the O vacancy. Our results provide new insights into the study of the luminescent behavior of ZnO and offer theoretical data for the design and application of ZnO optoelectronic materials.
