Optical transitions in epitaxial AlN layers and bulk crystals are in general dominated by a broad luminescence band ranging from 4eV - 2eV. This luminescence band has been attributed to a variety of point defects (e.g. N-vacancies, Al vacancies and interstitials, ON) or defect complexes (especially VAl - ON). Youngman and Harris showed, that a red shift of this band could be related to an increasing oxygen content. In this paper we study by means of optical spectroscopy, electro-paramagnetic resonance and transmission electron microscopy AlN bulk crystals grown by the sublimation method. The crystals were grown in the temperature range between 1900∘C and 2100∘C in BN crucibles. They are either hexagonal platelets or single crystalline boules of 12x3x2mm size grown along the c-axis. We find defect related bands at 3.45 eV, 3.0eV, 2.0 eV and 1.6 eV. A detailed study based on temperature and excitation dependent cathodoluminescence, time resolved photoluminescence and photoluminescence excitation is performed to analyse the physical nature of the defect related optical transitions
