Monte Carlo calculations of carrier heating efficiency in optically detected cyclotron resonance experiment are presented. It is shown that electrons accelerated by microwave electric field gain energy sufficient for impact ionization of shallow centers and for exciton dissociation. It is also explained why very sharp thresholds for impact processes were observed in the optically detected cyclotron resonance investigations.
