To clarify the subband profile of nitride quantum structures, we performed
photoluminescence excitation spectrum measurements of GaN/Al0.15Ga0.85N mul
tiquantum well structures grown by metalorganic Vapor phase epitaxy on an o
n-axis 6H-SiC(0001)(Si) substrate. Clear absorption due to the ground state
is confirmed. Further, two types of absorption related to the excited stat
es of the nitride quantum wells are found.
