The compositional fluctuations of the In content were found in InGaN/GaN quantum wells and it caused the localized states by the potential fluctuation. We have evaluated the optical gain of GaN based quantum well structures with localized states. The localized states are treated as the subband states of the quantum disk-like dots in the well. It was found that the inhomogeneous broadening played an important role in the optical gain and that it should be reduced to use the benefit of the localized states for laser oscillations.
