N/GaN superlattice with varying annealing temperature and excitation intensity is presented. The intensity of UVL increases to the maximum and then decreases sharply and the peak exhibites a redshift when the annealing temperature increased in the N

atmosphere; at the same activating condition
the hole concentration of the sample and the intensity of UVL decreases and the peak shifts to the lower energy as the Mg content increases. The results indicated that the transition between the shallow donors (V
N
H) that is easily disassembled by heat and shallow acceptors (Mg
Ga
) caused UVL
which also competes with the transition between deep donors (Mg

V
N
) and shallow acceptors (Mg
Ga
) due to the effect of self-compensation by redshift. The blueshift of UVL is about 260 meV with increasing the excitation density. Studying by the model of band structure of superlattice on the effect of polarization
it was suggested that UVL arises from the change of the transition between V

in a sawtooth-like band structure due to polarization effect. According to the early reports
the origin of UVL in Mg-doped GaN is still unclear. In this report

N/GaN superlattice and the difference from Mg-doped GaN is observed through the photoluminescence due to the strong polarization effect in superlattice. This study will help us to disclose the process of the radiative transition especially caused by defects in superlattice clearly and understand the origin of ultraviolet luminescence in these Mg-doped GaN-based materials further.
