Abstract
We report on an optical study of strained InGaAs/GaAs quantum dots grown by molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE). The InGaAs/ GaAs quantum-dots samples are formed in situ by using the coherent islanding effect1 of InGaAs. These dots have typical mean diameters ranging from 125 to 275 Å, with a standard deviation of 20 Å. The dot density is between 109 cm-2 and 1011 cm-2 The size of dots depends on the growth parameters. A variety of samples were grown and characterized. The samples reported here have a quantum well and quantum dots.
