Photorefectance spectra of bulk semiconductors of GaAs and GaAs/InGaP and GaAsSbN/GaAs heterostructures prepared on GaAs substrates were investigated, using blue, green, orange and red LEDs, in comparison with spectra obtained with the use of Ar and He-Ne lasers, using a conventional technique. Results show the possibility of using LEDs as pump light sources in photorefectance measurements. %K Photorefectance %K Pump Source %K Light-emitting diodes %U http://www.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/semexatas/article/view/2976
