The photoluminescence (PL) spectra of GaInNP are observed to survey the origin of the unique behavior of the band gap caused by incorporating nitrogen ions. The temperature dependence of the PL peak position is carefully analyzed. It is found that the reduction of the temperature alteration owing to the nitrogen incorporation arises from the hybridization between the nitrogen local 3s and 3p orbitals and the conduction band. In the GaInNP and host GaInP with the indium content around 50%, which has a direct band gap slightly lower than an X-valley, the band gap shrinkage with temperature is mediated by an LA phonon at X point.
