We report optical reflectivity study on pure and boron-doped diamond films grown by a hot-filament chemical vapor deposition method. The study reveals the formation of an impurity band close to the top of the valence band upon boron doping. A schematic picture for the evolution of the electronic structure with boron doping was drawn based on the experimental observation. The study also reveals that the boron doping induces local lattice distortion, which brings an infrared-forbidden phonon mode at 13300.3em0excm^-1 activated in the doped sample. The antiresonance characteristic of the mode in conductivity spectrum evidences the very strong coupling between electrons and this phonon mode.
