We report on the spectral dynamics of the reflectivity, site-selectively excited photoluminescence,photoluminescence excitation, and time-resolved luminescence in quaternary AlInGaN epitaxial layers grown on GaN templates. The incorporation of a few percents of In into AlGaN causes significant smoothening of the band-bottom potential profile in AlInGaN layers owing to improved crystal quality. An abrupt optical bandgap indicates that a nearly lattice-matched AlInGaN/GaN heterostructure with large energy band offsets can be grown for high-efficiency light-emitting devices.

We report on the comparative photoluminescence studies of AlGaN/GaN, GaN/InGaN, and AlInGaN/InGaN multiple quantum well(MQW) structures. The study clearly shows the improvement in materials quality with the introduction of indium. Our results point out the localized state emission mechanism for GaN/InGaN structures and the quantum well emission mechanism for AlInGaN/InGaN structures. The introduction of indium is the dominant factor responsible for the observed differences in the photoluminescence spectra of these MQW structures.
