1. A device comprising:

  • a group III nitride ultraviolet radiation generating structure; and

    a p-type group III nitride superlattice layer at least partially transparent to ultraviolet radiation generated by the ultraviolet radiation generating structure, wherein the superlattice layer comprises a set of quantum wells and barriers, wherein a valence band discontinuity between a quantum well and an immediately adjacent barrier in the superlattice layer is such that a dopant energy level of a dopant in the immediately adjacent barrier in the superlattice layer is within three thermal energies of at least one of;

    a valence energy band edge for the quantum well or a ground state energy for free carriers in a valence energy band for the quantum well.
