Abstract

It is known that dislocations and EL2 clusters participate in infrared transmission images. Optical quenching of the typical cell patterns at low temperature also charge EL2 with contributing to images. A point yet is not clearly established: such optical contrast could originate in a quantum absorption process or as well in a scattering of the photons. This paper aims at showing that both optical processes are likely to occur in most of the GaAs SI samples and that the two phenomenons can be considered as localy correlated. So monitoring EL2 center density by optical “absorption” could be a trap for the unwarry.
