The steady-state photoluminescence (PL) spectra of AgInSe2 grown by the Hot-Press method have been examined. The broad peaks located at 1.19 eV and 1.16 eV are very likely to be the donor-acceptor-pair emissions. The energies of the donor levels participating in these emissions correspondingly are 25 eV and 50-52 meV, as found from the analyses of the activation energies of the PL intensity. The peaks observed in the obtained PL spectra in the band-edge region are attributed to free and bound excitons. The binding energy of the free exciton is estimated to be 29 meV.
