Abstract

It is shown that, by using a gyratron, it is possible to control the position of a p-n junction in an already fabricated light-emitting structure. A shift of the compensated region in the emitting structure based on GaAs:Si is caused by the motion of impurities in the field of thermoelastic stresses appearing in the course of sample cooling after gyrotronic irradiation.
