Abstract
The quantum-confined Stark effect of excitonic states in self-assembled (In,Ga)As∕GaAs quantum dots was studied by microphotoluminescence spectroscopy. A similar Stark-shift behavior for excitons, biexcitons, and a charged state was observed. Investigations suggest the absence of a permanent dipole moment in the lateral quantum dot plane. Values of the polarizability could be derived for all the investigated states. Furthermore, high-resolution Fabry-Pérot interferometry was applied to resolve the excitonic fine structure splitting and to investigate the influence of a lateral electric field. For a single dot, the splitting could be tuned to zero, thus affording the possibility to create electrically controlled entangled photon pairs.
