A physicist who measured the fundamental band gap of gallium nitride using photoluminescence excitation. When suitable transmission samples were unavailable, varying the excitation and observing emission provided another route to the absorption edge. Combining those measurements with reflection and luminescence separated exciton transition energies from the underlying band gap.[ref]
