Abstract
It is shown that a position of an optical absorption edge (OAE) of amorphous AsSe and As2S3 films irradiated by light up to saturation is independent on Texp the temperature at which the sample is exposed, and the amplitude of a reversible photoinduced shift of OAE ΔE is determined by its thermal shift ΔE as it is heated from Texp up to the glass-transition temperature Tg. So, in order to obtain maximum photoinduced changes we need to use materials with maximum thermal variations of the forbidden zone width, and to tend to a greater difference between Tg and Texp. The obtained results are well explained within the scope of the local heating model.
