Nowadays, realizing laser diodes for the optoelectronic integration on silicon is a big challenge. The quaternary, direct-gap semiconductor Ga(N,As,P) is a suitable candidate for this purpose as it can be grown pseudomorphically on silicon and laser operation at low temperatures has already been demonstrated. To further optimize the Ga(N,As,P) heterostructures profound knowledge of the band offset is important. We present a thorough study of the Ga(N,As,P)/GaP band offset based on the conjunction of experiment and theory. Using PLE spectroscopy the transition energies of the Ga(N,As,P)-QW are revealed. These are modeled by a QW-calculation taking strain and the N-induced band anti-crossing into account. Therefore, it is possible to uniquely determine the band offset with very high precision.
