Abstract

Quantum dots (QDs) are artificial, nanometer-sized clusters that confine the motion of an electron in all three spatial dimensions [1]. They provide an ideal system for studying quantum physics in the limit of three-dimensional spatial confinement and are being intensively investigated both experimentally and theoretically. Also, the atomic-like properties of QDs, such as a discrete spectrum of energy levels, have technological importance in device applications, such as lasers with low threshold current and large gain. Following the pioneering work in 1994 [1,2], much progress has been made in producing QD lasers. Room-temperature laser operation from QDs can now be achieved and modulated over a wide range of wavelengths, from near-infrared (≃1 μm) to the visible (≃ 400 nm) wavelengths [3–11].
