Abstract It is shown that complex aggregate centers of oxygen divacancy type (F2 centers) and interstitial aluminum type near the anion vacancy (Ali) are formed in anion-deficient crystals of corundum (α-Al2O3-δ) and beryllium oxide (BeO1-δ) under thermo-optical treatment (TOT). These centers are similar to those created in stoichiometric α-Al2O3 and BeO crystals under neutron irradiation. It is important to note that thermal stability of the TOT-created complex centers is higher than that of similar neutron-induced centers. It is also established that the probability of their formation is related to the temperature of the TOO, the wavelength of the stimulating light, and the initial anionic deficiency manifested as F+ and F centers (anion vacancies with one and two electrons, respectively).
