Based on the tight binding method with hopping integral between the nearest-neighbor atoms, an oscillator strength $\int_0^{\infty} \d \omega {\rm Re} \sigma (\omega)$ is discussed for armchair and metallic zigzag carbon nanotubes. The formulae of the oscillator strength are derived for both types of nanotubes and are compared with the result obtained by a linear chain model. In addition, the doping dependence is investigated in the absence of Coulomb interaction. It is shown that the oscillator strength of each carbon nanotube shows qualitatively the same doping dependence, but the fine structure is different due to it's own peculiar band structure. Some relations independent of the radius of the tube are derived, and a useful formula for determining the amount of doping is proposed.
