Optical transmission spectroscopy study of the Haldane magnet Dy2BaNiO5 was performed in the region of f-f transitions of the Dy3+ ion in a wide range of temperatures (5-300 К). At temperatures lower than TN (59 K), Kramers doublets of the rare-earth ion split. Spectroscopic data obtained were used to calculate the Schottky-type anomaly in the temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility of Dy2BaNiO5 and to model the experimental data available in literature. Anomalous behavior of crystal-field energies of the Dy3+ ion was attributed to the magnetoelectric interactions.
