Abstract
We review the electronic and optical properties of single self-organized semiconductor quantum dots. A particular attention is paid to the description of the fundamental electron/hole levels, which govern the ground state interband transition. We show that a fine description of the fundamental transition goes far beyond a simple atomic-like picture, and that the optical properties of an isolated quantum dot are dependent upon different weak couplings, which reflect its intrinsic solid state nature and should be incorporated in any theoretical scheme aiming at describing its response to light.
