We report the first optical study of CaAlSi, a superconductor which displays both the crystal structure of MgB2 and the electronic band structure of intercalated graphites. The reflectivity of a CaAlSi single crystal was measured down to sub-THz frequencies and to 3.3 K, with the use of Coherent Synchrotron Radiation. A superconducting gap in the hexagonal planes, two gaps along the c axis were found and measured, as expected from the structure of the CaAlSi Fermi surface. The anisotropic optical parameters of the normal state were also determined.
