The optical absorption of cuprous oxide is affected by the defect structure and this is most pronounced in the middle of the stability range, indicating that the observed absorption bands are due to aggregates of vacancies. A simultaneous measurement of the photoconductivity leads to a direct relationship between the exciton stimulated photoresponse and the defect structure.
