This letter reports the first-ever fabrication and characterization of reflective quarter wave filter stacks based on single-crystal GaN/Al(x)Ga(1-x)N multilayers. The filters were designed for peak reflectivities at 400 and 450 nm. The designed epitaxial layers were deposited using a low-pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition system. The interface abruptness and the thicknesses of individual stack layers were measured using a unique Zalar sputter Auger depth profiling procedure and X-ray analysis. The abruptness was found to be better than 40 A, which is the instrument measurement limit. For 18-period filters the measured peak reflectivities of 80 percent and 95 percent agreed reasonably well with the estimations of 88 percent and 95 percent of the multilayer designs.
