Er‐doped GaAs shows a sharp and simple intra‐4f‐shell luminescence spectrum of Er3+ ions under host photoexcitation, when the crystal is grown with deliberate oxygen codoping by metalorganic chemical‐vapor deposition. Photoluminescence‐excitation measurements by direct intra‐4f‐shell excitation, however, revealed that there are many kinds of Er3+ centers in the same crystal. To clarify the differences between these Er centers, photoluminescence was measured under both host photoexcitation and direct intra‐4f‐shell photoexcitation. It was found that there are three types of Er centers with distinctly different characteristics. The first type of Er center shows a sharp and simple photoluminescence spectrum with a high intensity under host photoexcitation. This center had been assigned as an Er atom coupled with two oxygen atoms (ErGa–2O center). The second type of Er center show sharp and simple spectra but only under direct intra‐4f‐shell photoexcitation and not under host photoexcitation. In a sample with...
