A theoretical consideration of resonant states in strained semiconductors i
s presented. Energy position, lifetime and wave functions of resonant state
s have been obtained for two approaches: (i) zero radius potential model an
d (ii) Dirac's approach for the consideration of Coulomb potential of accep
tor impurities. The energy dependence of optical transitions between resona
nt and local states is studied. Numerical calculations are produced for uni
axially stressed Ge:Ga.
