Abstract
In this paper we show a straight correlation between the integrated light emitted and the DC currents in pseudomorphic HEMTs biased at high drain voltage, where, due to hot electrons, impact ionization takes place. By means of electrical and optical measurements we have found three different recombination mechanisms originating the light emission in three different energy ranges
