ABSTRACT Photo-induced changes in the infrared (IR) absorption spectrum of the EL2 defect in undoped and lightly alloyed unannealed GaAs materials grown by the liquid-encapsulated Czochralski technique were observed under a monochromatic light irradiation. These changes were attributed to the change of the charge states of EL2. The spectrum which is believed to be due to the charged EL2 exhibits a complex structure with two peaks at 1.07 and 1.32 eV and a shoulder at 0.94 eV. The EL2+/2 + -- EL2 0/+ and EL20 /+ -- EL2+/2 + transitions were obtained by illuminating the sample with 0.7 < hv < 0.95 eV and 1.3
