We performed optical characterisation on high‐quality InAlGaN thin films and InAlGaN/GaN quantum wells (QWs) grown by rf‐MBE. Our main findings are that the In bowing coefficient in In 0.08 Al 0.29 Ga 0.63 N alloys is found unexpectedly large ( b I = 8.4 eV), and that the internal field in In 0.08 Al 0.29 Ga 0.63 N/GaN QWs is strongly reduced (0.25 MV/cm) as a consequence of enhanced polarisation matching between well and barrier layers.
