The analysis of the optical absorption spectra of semi‐insulating GaAs: Cr measured at T = 78 K before and after illumination with light quenching the absorption due to EL2 centres shows that besides Cr 2+ , Cr 3+ , and filled (EL2 0 ) deep‐donor centres also empty (EL2 + ) centres may be present. These EL2 + centres cause an optical absorption with spectral shape in accordance with the photoionization cross section σ p . The optical quenching of EL2 + is connected with an increase of [Cr 3+ ] by hole capturing. A procedure is proposed to evaluate [EL2 0 ], [EL2 + ], [Cr 2+ ], and [Cr 3+ ] from the optical absorption spectra.
