Aluminium gallium arsenide (also aluminum gallium arsenide) (AlxGa1-xAs) is a semiconductor material with very nearly the same lattice constant as GaAs, but a larger bandgap. The x in the formula above is a number between 0 and 1 - this indicates an arbitrary alloy between GaAs and AlAs.

For a typical sample of Al42Ga58As the refractive index and extinction coefficient at 632.8 nm are 3.62277 and 0.03701227. Below are files of complete refractive index and extinction coefficients.
