We present a review of coherence properties of interband and intraband optical transitions in self assembled InAs/GaAs quantun dots. Indeed, recent experimental and theoretical investigations of the optical transitions in both spectral domains have allowed a better understanding of the different phenomena that affects the interaction of confined carriers with light. These studies point out the many different ways the electron-phonon interactions play a role on the optical response of quantum dots. They also stress the primary role of the close environment on the coherence characteristics of quantum dots.
