The electron energy levels contributing to the luminescence transition of Pr3+ in nitride semiconductors (GaN and AlN) are investigated based on a comparison with the other host material (YAG). We found that the dominant luminescence peak around 1.9 eV in GaN:Pr is most likely due to the 1D2 - 3H4 or 3P0 - 3H6 transition, rather than the 3P0 - 3F2 transition assigned by the previous studies.
