The optical behavior around the culet of a diamond anvil made of high-purity and defect-free synthetic diamond crystal, which was plastically deformed at room temperature, was investigated by cathodoluminescence spectroscopy. It was found that the free exciton peaks weaken while the -band and 2BD bands appear at the culet center where plastic deformation occurred. It was demonstrated that the free exciton peaks near the edge of the culet shift to the long wavelength side, indicating that the band structure of the peripheral areas of the culet changes because of residual strain caused by the plastic deformation in the culet center.
