Experimental results obtained on GaAs grown by MBE at low substrate temperature (200 ∘ C) using Magnetic Circular Dichroism of the Optical Absorption (MCDA) and optically detected via change of MCDA Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (MCDA-EPR) are presented. The samples after growth were prepared with lift-off technique and annealed at different temperatures from as-grown to 650 ∘ C. The preparation with the lift-off method enables us to expose the material without the influence of the GaAs substrate. In our report emphasis is placed on the investigation of bleaching properties of As-antisite-related defects in LT GaAs . Precise MCDA-EPR and so called tagged by EPR MCDA investigations show that we deal with different As-antisite-related defects in as-grown and annealed material. A critical annealing temperature is near 400 ∘ C. MCDA-EPR reveals an yet unknown defect in samples annealed above 450 ∘ C which we attribute to a Ga-vacancy-related defect consistent with positron annihilation experiments.
