• Charges of acceptors in CBE-grown GaAsN are obtained using the Poole–Frenkel model.
• Emission rates from acceptors became higher, when the electric field increases.
• This means that the energies required for the emission decrease.
• Analysis of emission-enhancement indicates that charges of acceptors are −1 and −2.
• Thus, the acceptors originate from the same defect, acting as a double acceptor.
