Using a so-called A-set of parameters describing the six highest valence bands (VBs) and an assumption of a nonparabolic conduction band (CB) we calculated the imaginary part of the dielectric function in the vicinity of the fundamental absorption edge of wurtzite GaN. Both interband optical transitions and excitonic effects were included. Comparison to experiment yields the momentum matrix element, the electron effective mass, the size of the CB nonparabolicity, and parameter F related to the influence of remote bands. We estimate effects on the values determined owing to discrepancies between the reported A-sets of VB parameters, as well as optical anisotropy and possible anisotropy of the electron effective mass and present a set of self-consistent kp parameters which provides a parameterisation of the band structure of wurtzite GaN in the framework of an 8x8 Hamiltonian.
