Abstract
The possibility of manipulating optical properties of semiconductors through various degrees of dimensional or quantum confinement has attracted considerable attention during the last decade. Even though the best-known examples are still quantum well structures that confine one motional degree of freedom of the excited electron-hole pair, quantum wires and quantum dots arebecoming increasingly important since they yield two-dimensional and three-dimensional quantum confinement, respectively.
