In given article direct optical absorption in cylindrical quantum dot with rectangular infinitely high confinement potential is theoretically investigated. According to [1] absorption coefficient is defined by the formula

,

where  ( is the width of forbidden band),  is the frequency of incident light,  index refers to electron, h index refers to the hole,  is a quantity, proportional to the square of dipole momentum matrix element modulus, taken on Bloch functions.

            The corresponding selection rules for optical transitions are defined. The expressions for absorption threshold frequencies are found. The obtained results are compared with the case of light direct optical absorption in spherical quantum dot.
