A comparison between the electronic energy structure of a target material and epitaxial films obtained from this material by pulsed laser evaporation and epitaxy is presented in the paper. Targets with various impurity concentrations were used in this experiment, and the epitaxial growth took place at various substrate temperatures. Studies of photoluminescence spectra included temperature and power dependencies of spectral features associated with the impurities. Properties of donor-acceptor pair recombination served for the analysis of the differences in the impurity concentration in the layers and the source material.
