Optical properties of GaN-based diluted magnetic semiconductor GaCrN were studied. The GaCrN layers were grown by electron-cyclotron-resonance plasma-assisted molecular-beam epitaxy. They exhibited ferromagnetic behavior at room temperature and strong photoluminescence (PL) emission at 3.29 eV (10 K). The PL emission peak energy of the GaCrN decreases with increasing temperature in accordance with the Varshini formula similar to the GaN excitonic transition peak. The 3.29 eV PL emission was assigned to be a band-to-band transition in GaCrN from the temperature- and the excitation-power-density dependences of the PL.
