Abstract:
The fine structure of the exciton states in InAs quantum dots grown by the Stranski–Krastanov method with short growth interruptions has been studied by microphotoluminescence at cryogenic temperatures. It has been demonstrated that, with increasing quantum-dot size, the splitting of the exciton states increases steadily to $\sim10^{2}\,\mu$eV. It has been shown that, in the exciton energy range of $1.3$–$1.4$ eV, the magnitude of this splitting is comparable to the natural width of the exciton lines. This result is important for the development of entangled photon pair emitters based on InAs quantum dots.
