    The first part of a comprehensive overview of fundamental optical properties of III-nitride semiconductors. All optoelectronic applications based on III-nitrides are due to their unique optical properties and characterizations of III-nitrides. Much information, which is critical to the design and improvement of optoelectronic devices based on III-nitrides has been obtained in the last several years. This is the first of a two part Volume in the series Optoelectronic Properties of Semiconductors and Superlattices.

    Introduction
    Chapter One: Time-resolved Photoluminescence Studies of III-Nitrides
    Chapter Two: Time-resolved Raman Studies of Wide bandgap Wurtzite GaN
    Chapter Three: Optical Properties of InGaN Based III-Nitride Heterostructures
    Chapter Four: Optical Properties of Homeopitaxial GaN
    Chapter Five: Physics and Optical Properties of GaN/InGaN Quantum Wells
    Chapter Six: Characterization of GaN and Related Alloys by Raman Scattering
    Chapter Seven: Raman Studies of Wurtzite GaN and Related Compounds
    Chapter Eight: Light Emission from Rare Earth Doped GaN
