Abstract
We resolve spatially, spectroscopically and temporally the photoluminescence emission from single self-assembled In(Ga)As/GaAs quantum dots, The temporal evolution of the emission spectrum after pulsed excitation is measured for various excitation intensities at various ambient temperatures. The evolution of the spectrum with the increase in both steady state and pulse excitation intensities is measured as well. A multi-exciton model is used for calculating the temporal and excitation intensity dependence of the measured spectra. The quantitative agreement between the measured and calculated spectra provides an unambiguous determination of the radiative lifetime of a single quantum dot exciton. This lifetime is 4-6 ns long and is temperature independent. The reduced spatial coherence between the confined exciton and the radiation electromagnetic field quantitatively explains this long radiative time.
