Abstract
This chapter describes how individual type-II like GaSb/GaAs quantum rings can be isolated to allow observations of individual rings with exciton linewidths of 200 µeV. The power dependent blueshift of individual peaks is studied and compared to the ensemble’s blueshift, to gain a better understanding of the underlying physics of this system.
