Photoluminescence and two-photon measurements were performed on hexago
nal bulk GaN. From photoluminescence we have obtained the energies of
free 1S excitons, from two-photon spectroscopy the energies of 2P exci
tons. These results together allow an accurate determination of excito
n binding energies and band gaps. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All r
