Consideration is given to negative photoconductivity and infrared quenching of intrinsic photoconductivity in the pure and alloyed with rare-earth elements gallium monoselenide crystals (p-GaSe). It is shown that both negative photoconductivity and infrared quenching of the intrinsic photoconductivity in p-GaSe crystals are stipulated by presence in the forbidden zone two types of recombination centers-fast and slow ones. Their memory character is connected with a spatial heterogeneity of the material Possibility of creation of infraredphotoresistors with background and background-free effect based on pure and alloyed p-GaSe crystals is supposed.
