Persistent photoinduced change of physical properties in the RBa2Cu3O7−δ high temperature superconductor family has for some time been investigated with various, complemental experimental methods. Illumination induced effects are observed in electrical transport as well as in Raman spectra, and more recently, in reflectance anisotropy spectroscopy. While a connection to oxygen deficiencies in the chain plane of the material is obvious in all experiments, the precise mechanism of photobleaching is still uncertain, nor it is clear if all methods probe aspects of the same physical property of the material.

In this study we focus on the explicit connection between electrical transport and optical phenomena by performing a simultaneous experiment. Both the change of resistivity and Raman features in thin films of GdBa2Cu3O7−δ under illumination have been recorded. We present a comparison of the time dependencies and discuss the results in the framework of the oxygen-vacancy picture of photobleaching.
