Abstract:
We present a comprehensive study of the intraband transitions in n-type InAs/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) with a filling varying from 0.5 to 4 electrons per dot, using both polarization-dependent absorption and photocurrent spectroscopy. Applying these complementary mid- and far-infrared spectroscopies over a wide energy range allows us to obtain a detailed picture of the intraband transitions and energy levels in self-assembled QDs.
