AbstractOptical properties of light-hole free exciton (FX B) in GaN epilayers were investigated by using near-resonance photoluminescence (PL) and time-resolved PL techniques. In contrast to the case of off-resonance PL where only heavy-hole free excitons (FX A) have strong response, FX B band can be well resolved in the near-resonance PL spectra. The variable-temperature near-resonance PL spectra show that the linewidth of FX B broadens faster than the FX A with increasing temperature. Moreover, the luminescence lifetime of FX B is found to be shorter than that of FX A. © 2010 American Institute of Physics.
